 Ingredients
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
8-ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Sun-Maid Natural Raisins
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
Directions: In mixer bowl, CREAM butter and cream cheese. Gradually stir in flour; mix until smooth. FORM dough into 3 equal balls; flatten slightly. Wrap and chill at least 3 hours or overnight. COMBINE raisins, walnuts, chocolate, sugar and cinnamon; set aside. To bake, ROLL one ball of dough on floured surface to 12-inch circle. Brush with 1 tablespoon of the butter; sprinkle with 1/3 of the raisin mixture. Roll over filling with rolling pin to press slightly into dough. CUT into 12 pie-shaped wedges. Roll up each wedge jelly-roll fashion, beginning from wide end. Place on greased baking sheets, points down. Repeat with remaining balls of dough. If desired, BRUSH tops with additional melted butter; sprinkle with additional cinnamon and sugar. BAKE at 350 F about 25 minutes or until golden. COOL on wire racks.
Makes 3 dozen.
