Ingredients

  • PASTRY:
  • 8 tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 4 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄8 tsp. salt

  • 2⁄3 cup raspberry jam, divided
  • 1⁄2 cup chopped almonds, toasted, divided
  • 1 egg, beaten for egg wash, divided
  • Cinnamon-sugar mixture

Directions

  • Make pastry by combining butter, cream cheese, flour and salt in bowl of food processor and pulse until a dough ball forms, about 30 seconds. Divide dough into 2 pieces, wrap each piece in plastic and chill 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out one piece chilled dough into 10-inch circle on lightly floured work surface, using more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
  • Spread ⅓ cup jam over the surface and sprinkle with ¼ cup almonds. Cut pastry into 12 wedges. Starting with the wide edge, roll up each wedge. Place cookies, points tucked under, on prepared baking sheet. Brush with half of egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat with second piece of chilled dough.
