Fruit and Nut Cream Swirl Cookies Recipe

Tuesday November 14, 2006
A delicious filling of dried fruit, pecans, and cream cheese swirls through these sugar cookies. I like to sprinkle half with confectioners' sugar and leave half plain. They are quite tasty even without embellishment. It is important that the dough be thoroughly chilled for both steps of this recipe. The advantage is you can make these cookies and refrigerate up to a week in advance of baking them.

The recipe for fruti and nut cream swirl cookes calls for butter. Can I use salted butter instead of sweet? If so, do I omit the salt in the recipe?

Hi Geri;
Salted butter is fine. In fact, it is what I use 99% of the time. Leave in the 1/4 teaspoon of salt. It balances nicely with the sugar. Enjoy!
