directions

  • FOR THE BASE: In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese & sugar, then add the egg, orange zest & vanilla, mixing well.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour & salt, then add this to the creamed mixture & mix well. Cover & chill for 4 hours or until firm.
  • FOR THE FILLING: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine all the filling ingredients, then cook & stir over low heat until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • Once the base dough has chilled AND the filling has cooled, on a floured surface, divide the dough in half; roll each half into a 12-inch by 10-inch rectangle.
  • Spread each rectangle with half of the cooled filling, then carefully roll up into a tight jelly roll & wrap each roll in waxed paper. Chill overnight.
  • The next day, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F & set out several baking sheets.
  • Remove waxed paper from the rolls & cut the rolls into 1/4-inch thick slices, placing the slices on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned, then remove the cookies to wire racks to cool.
