Recipe

Step 1: Place flour in a food processor or large bowl. Cut butter into flour until crumbly. Cut cream cheese into mixture and combine to form a dough. (If you are doing this in a food processor be careful not to overprocess.) Divide dough into 4 balls and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.

Step 2: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon.

Step 3: Roll each ball of dough into 10″ circle. Spread each circle with about 2 tbsp jam and sprinkle with 1/4 of brown-sugar mixture.

Step 4: Cut each circle into 12 wedges. Roll up each wedge from the wide end. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5: Brush each cookie with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake in a preheated 350ºF oven for 20-25 minutes, or until browned and crusty. Cookies can also be frozen baked or unbaked. Bake unbaked cookies directly from the frozen state; they may take a few minutes longer to cook.
