Makes 4 dozen cookies
Approximate preparation time: 30 minutes, plus 35 minutes
for baking
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment
paper.
Filling:
Insert the small metal chopping blade into the small work bowl
and add the pecans. Pulse to roughly chop. Add the chocolate
and pulse again to roughly chop. Add the sugars, cinnamon
and nutmeg and pulse to combine. Remove work bowl and
reserve.
Dough:
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work bowl
of the Cuisinart
®
Food Processor. Add the flour, salt, cinnamon,
sugar and zest and process for 10 seconds to sift. Add the
butter and cream cheese evenly and pulse to combine. Add
the sour cream and pulse until just combined. The dough
should be slightly crumbly; be careful not to overmix. Divide
dough into 4 equal pieces, wrap in plastic and chill in the refrig-
erator for 30 minutes (you want dough to be chilled, but still
soft enough to be rolled).
Once dough has chilled, roll each piece out on a lightly floured
surface into a rectangle about
1
⁄8-inch thick. Brush pastry with
cream and then sprinkle with ¼ of the filling. Roll the rectangle
up in a jellyroll fashion, brush with cream and sprinkle with
cinnamon sugar. Chill slightly. Repeat with the remaining
dough. Cut each roll into 12 pieces, approximately ½-inch thick
and space evenly on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until just golden brown.
