APRICOT CRESCENTS



Apricot Crescents image

When I was in college, my roommate's mother sent these flaky horns in a holiday care package. I've been making them ever since. When I mail them to my parents, I put an equal number in two tins labeled "his" and "hers" so there's no squabbling over who gets more. - Tamyra Vest, Scottsburg, Virginia

Time 3h55m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon sour cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons powdered sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Blend butter, cream cheese, and sour cream together in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Stir in flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and salt until well blended.
  • Wrap dough in waxed paper and chill until firm enough to roll, at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  • Divide dough into thirds. Keep dough in the refrigerator while working on one portion at a time. Roll each portion into a 12 1/2x10-inch rectangle. Cut into 2 1/2-inch squares using a fluted pastry wheel.
  • Place a dot, about 1/4 teaspoon, of preserves in the center of each square. Bring up two diagonal corners to the center, pinching together to seal, or secure with a toothpick. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
