INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cups butter, softened, divided
2 tablespoons sugar plus 1/3 cup, divided
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups Pillsbury BEST™ All Purpose Flour
Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup finely chopped dates
1/2 cup finely chopped shelled pistachios
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
PREPARATION DIRECTIONS
Step 1
COMBINE 1 cup butter, 2 tablespoons sugar and cream cheese in large bowl; beat until light and fluffy.
Step 2
ADD flour to butter mixture; blend well. Shape dough into ball; divide into 4 pieces. Shape each piece into ball; flatten into 1/2-inch-thick disk. Wrap each in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour for easier handling.
Step 3
HEAT oven to 375°F. Spray 2 cookie sheets with no-stick cooking spray. Combine dates, pistachios, 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon and 1/4 cup butter in small bowl; blend well.
Step 4
ROLL out 1 disk of dough at a time on floured surface with floured rolling pin to 1/8-inch thickness, forming 12-inch round. (Keep remaining disks of dough refrigerated.) Sprinkle 1/4 of date-nut mixture onto round; press into dough slightly. Cut round into 16 wedges. Roll up each wedge from curved edge to point. Place on prepared cookie sheets.
Step 5
BAKE 13 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets; place on wire racks. Cool 30 minutes or until completely cooled. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
