Ingredients

  • 1 lb. unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1 egg mixed with 1 tbsp. heavy cream, for egg wash

Preparation

Step 1

MAKES 8 DOZEN

1 egg mixed with 1 tbsp. heavy cream, for egg wash

1. Combine butter, cream cheese, ¼ cup sugar, vanilla, and salt in a bowl and beat on medium-high speed of a mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add flour, and beat until just combined. Transfer to a work surface and form into a ball; halve ball and then cut each half into quarters. Shape each piece into a small disk and wrap individually in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour.

2. Heat oven to 350°. Stir together remaining sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside. Working with 1 disk at a time, transfer to a floured work surface, and using a rolling pin, roll into an 8" circle; using an offset spatula, spread 2 tbsp. jam over circle, sprinkle with 2 tbsp. walnuts, and 1 tbsp. cinnamon-sugar. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut each circle into 12 wedges; starting from each wide end, roll up wedges to form crescent rolls. Transfer rolls to parchment paper-lined baking sheets, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with more cinnamon-sugar; bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
