8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup butter, softened
2 Tbs powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Dash of salt
2-1/4 cup flour
Filling:
1 egg white, reserve yolk
1 Tbs sugar
1 tsp almond flavoring
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbs cinnamon
1 cup raisins
1-1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts
1 egg yolk, mixed with 2 Tbs water
Cream butter and cream cheese. Add sugar, vanilla, and salt. Gradually stir in flour, forming a ball that sticks together. Do not overwork the dough. Wrap in plastic and chill for 1-2 hours. If you chill it overnight, remove it from the refrigerator one hour before using.
Roll each half of the dough into an 8x20" rectangle, on a lightly floured surface. Lightly beat egg white with sugar and almond extract. Spread half over each rectangle.
Mix cinnamon and sugar together. Sprinkle over both rectangles, followed by raisins, and 1 cup walnuts. Press firmly into the dough. Roll up tightly, forming a long roll. Brush tops with egg wash. Press in remaining walnuts. Cut into 1-1/2" rolls.
Bake @350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden. Raisins may be omitted, if you want.
