"Do you have more than 100 Romanian Walnut Crescents in your kitchen?.."- OK, I'm coming ... Yes I have more than that.. and they are realy good; The dough is crispy and it was very easy to roll it, fold every 5x5 cm square into a small crescent. I've made the dough last night,and It was taken out of the frige 1 hour before rolling it.If you're not sure you need 120 crescents ,bake only half ...I'll try this dough filled with Turkish Delight like my grandma did years ago ..
Romanian Walnut Crescents / from " Our Immigrant Ancestors" Cookbook by Jeff Smith ,recipe taken from Rosey's Recipe Page סהרוני אגוזים רומניים
Dough:
1 8-ounce package Philadelphia cream cheese, room temperature
16 tablespoons, (2 sticks) butter or margarine, room temperature
1 egg
1 tablespoon sugar
6 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons cold water
Filling:
4 tablespoons butter( or margarine )
1/2 pound walnuts, ground
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping:
confectioner's sugar
Dough:
Put cream cheese and butter in a bowl with the egg, sugar, flour, salt and water. mix well. roll the dough into a log, 10 inches long. wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour. (I've made the dough last night)
Working with 1/4 of the dough at a time, place it on a floured countertop, turning it over to cat well so that it does not stick. roll the dough out very thin.
Using a pastry or pizza cutter(It's a great idea to use your Pizza cutter !), cut the dough into 2x2 inch squares.
Filling:
In a saucepan, place the butter, ground nuts, sugar, and milk and cook until thick, stirring to prevent sticking. add the vanilla. cool slightly before using on the dough.
Place 1/2 teaspoon filling on each square, using the back of a teaspoon to spread it. roll up the square diagonally, from one corner to the opposite corner, or from one side to the opposite side. form either into a crescent shape, or leave it straight and place the filled dough on an ungreased cookie sheet. bake for 15-20 minutes in a preheated 350 oven until the cookies are light brown.
Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar immediately. let cool. more powdered sugar can be added later.

סהרוני אגוזים- הערות:הבצק מצויין כייפי לעיבוד ,גילגול ואפיה.השתמשתי בחבילה אחת של גבינת פילדלפיה מיובאת, הבצק נלוש בחלקו במיקסר ובחלקו ידנית, אוחסן ללילה שלם במקרר ולא שעה כפי שכתוב, אבל הוצאתי אותו מקרור כשעה לפני הרידוד.הכמויות מדוייקות הן של הבצק והן של המלית.גם הפעם עבדתי עם סרגל וכל רבע בצק רידדתי דק למלבן בגודל 30 על 25 ס"מ וחתכתי ריבועים קטנים של חמישה סנטימטר כל אחד,שימוש בחותכן פיצה לחיתוך הבצק התגלה כמצויין, נסו גם- צריך לאמץ את הגלגלת בכל בצק שניתן.כל רבע בצק מילא תבנית גדולה של התנור, אפיתי 20 עד 22 דקות.אז יש בערך 120 סהרוני אגוזים רומניים.. וחלקם הוקפא בשקית רוכסן גדולה.הבצק פריך מאוד ואני רוצה לנסות למלאו בפיסות קטנות של רחת לוקום. מומלץ. ..2 Songs for you:Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody and Chris De Burgh-Lady In Red Mark Grimshaw's Italian Cookery Website ניחוח איטלקי מפה ועד למטה-תהנו

Chanit, these look lovely! I love doughs with cream cheese. It creates such a wonderful texture and taste. Yum!
I think the gnocchi board is not really necesary Chanit, try to shape them with a fork, that's the way I shape those potatoe genetics decendents.
Thanks chris ! :-)
