Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
Dough
- 8 Ounces cream cheese
- 1 Cup butter
- 3 Cups all purpose flour
Filling
- 12 Ounces chocolate chips milk
- 14 Ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 Cup walnuts chopped
- 1/4 Tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 Tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Add the dough ingredients into the bowl of a mixer. Knead together until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, place on plastic wrap and then refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare baking sheets and set aside.
- Divide the dough into 2 pieces. Sprinkle powdered sugar out on a flat surface. Roll out the dough to a ¼" thick rectangle or some people prefer a circle.
- Place the filling ingredients into a saucepan and cook on low heat until chocolate is melted.
- Spread the chocolate filling down the center of each rectangle/circle. Fold to the center and roll up, or roll inwards from one of the longer sides. Press to seal all edges. Turn log over so the seam sides are down.
- Put each log on the prepared baking sheet using two spatulas.
- Bake for 20 minutes to 40 minutes. If you like a softer doughy cookie, bake on the lower time range (this is what I prefer) but if you want a crispier flaky cookie bake longer. Cool the cookie log for 30 minutes, transfer to a cutting board and then slice into cookies. NOTE: the number of cookies will vary on how thick you cut them.
