Learn How it Works...
Dough
1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Unsalted Butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
Filling
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cherry jam or preserves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup finely chopped toasted slivered almonds
1/3 cup finely chopped dried cherries
Powdered sugar, if desired
*Substitute 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg. **Substitute 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg.
STEP 1
Combine butter, cream cheese, almond flavoring, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and salt in bowl; beat at medium speed until well mixed. Add flour; beat at low speed until mixture forms dough.
STEP 2
Shape dough into ball; flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm.
STEP 3
Heat oven to 375ºF. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
STEP 4
Place sugar, jam and 1 teaspoon nutmeg in food processor bowl fitted with metal blade; pulse until smooth.
STEP 5
Roll out dough, on lightly floured surface, to 13-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Spread jam mixture evenly over dough, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges. Sprinkle chopped almonds and dried cherries over jam.
STEP 6
Cut circle into 16 wedges. Roll up each wedge, beginning at wide end. Place cookies onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake 18-20 minutes or until edges of cookies just begin to brown. Cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

- A mini-food processor makes quick work of chopping nuts.
