    Ingredients

    • 1 c. Soft butter
    • 1/2 lb Cream cheese
    • 2 c. Sifted flour
    • 1/4 tsp Salt Confectioners' sugar, if you like, in a shaker Mix of pitted dates, candied cherries (well liquid removed), soft pitted prunes and walnut halfs.

    Directions

    1. 1. Cream butter and cheese together. Blend in flour and salt.
    2. 2. Refrigeratefor several hrs, or possibly till hard sufficient to roll. Roll to 1/4_-inch thickness on board sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.
    3. 3. Cut in 1x3-inch strips with pastry wheel. Put your choice of fruit or possibly nut into center of each strip, and roll up. Place, folded side down, onto cookie sheets.
    4. 4. Bake in moderate oven (375 F.) for about 15 min.
    5. 5. Cold slightly and, if you like, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
    6. 6. Makes about 8 dozen cookies.
    7. (I find which fruits give the best results, the nuts are a bit too dry for my taste. These cookies are fairly light and also freeze rather well.)
