Hazelnut Cherry Crescents

Ingredients

• 150 g All-purpose flour
• 100 g Cream cheese
• 100 g Butter (softened)
• 70 g Sugar (white sugar)
• Salt (a pinch)
• 50 g Black cherry fruit spread (or cherry jam)
• 60 g Ground hazelnuts
• 50 g Brown sugar
• 0.5 TL Ground cinnamon

Steps

1. 1

   Take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft.

2. 2

   Knead the softened butter, cream cheese, flour, a pinch of white sugar, and salt into a smooth dough.

3. 3

   Divide the dough into two portions and roll each out thinly into a circle.

4. 4

   Spread a thin layer of the black cherry fruit spread over the dough circles.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, mix the ground hazelnuts with the brown sugar and cinnamon.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the nut mixture evenly over the fruit spread.

7. 7

   Cut each dough circle like a pizza into 16 narrow triangles.

8. 8

   Roll up the triangles tightly from the wide side toward the center to form small crescents.

9. 9

   Place the crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

The dough is easiest to handle if it is chilled briefly after kneading. The quantities were calculated based on portion sizes for 32 pieces.
