Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the first four ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 6-8 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Cool.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add flour.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth, about 3 minutes. Roll into a 12-1/2-in. square; cut into 2-1/2-in. squares.
Stir candy and walnuts into fruit mixture. Drop filling by tablespoonfuls onto the center of each square. Bring two opposite corners to center; moisten edges with water and pinch together.
Place 1 in. apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 16-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 25 cookies.
