I just made these for the first time for our cookie swap, and I was very impressed with how it turned out. I have never made a cookie dough with cream cheese in it, so I was a very curious with how they would taste, but I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the dough. They also keep very well in an airtight container. Others loved them too, so this will remain in my recipe collection. Also, I made a batch with walnuts and another batch with pecans and they both were fantastic. They do take a bit of work, but I quickly got the hang of it and I feel they are well worth the effort.

Second year in a row making these for Christmas. Absolutely love this recipe! I follow the recipe exactly and have no problems. Excellent recipe!

Was pleasantly surprised at how they turned out; I expected more of a 'crunchy' cookie instead of a pastry. My husband really liked them. They're a little messy to make, but worth it!

we make over 1,000 cookies for the troops for Christmas. I like to try a couple new recipes every year. We made these and they were not good. It takes a long time to make these and the dough is not good. The taste was ok but not worth the hassle to make.

Had a small amount of walnuts to use up so I thought this would be perfect & quick. The cookies are decent, but I doubt I would go buy walnuts just to make these. The only problem I had were the rolling in rounds...I did more of an oval so that I had better wedges. They did not look like the picture, very fat and rolled several times wheras the the picture looks rolled 3 times. Some of the filling came out all over my cookie tray and Im hoping it will come off! They taste good though, just a hassle.

I have written a review and cannot understand how these women could not make these cookies and get them to turn out.How much simpliar could you want.They onley need 3 cups of flour,if you use proper measuring cups.sorry to bad mouth some of the reviews but these are a great cookie and don't desire the bad ratings.

These nut rolls are easy and taste great.I have made them for several occasions and have had the recipe requested by many people.

These were really easy to make. But I did find that they only needed to bake for 20 minutes instead of 30. I also sprinkled powdered sugar on them before serving, I found out they tasted better because my family likes sweet things.

I have a similar recipe, but it only calls for 2 cups of flour. Need to chill overnight as dough is very soft Excellent filling. Well worth the time.

I followed the recipe to a T and thought these were EXCELLENT! Yes, they took some time, but I didn't have any problems with the dough. Because it is Christmas time, I added a small amount of red food coloring to the dough and after rolling it into a circle, I cut the wedges by using a pizza cutter. My husband loved them and so do all of my friends I baked them for. This will definitely be in my recipe box.
