Ingredients:

-----------------------------------DOUGH-----------------------------------
4 oz Cream cheese; at room
-temperature
4 oz (1 stock) butter; at room
-temperature
1 tb Sour cream or plain yogurt
1 1/4 c Flour
1/4 ts Salt

Instructions:
----------------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
3 oz Pitted dried cherries
1 c Walnuts
3 tb Sugar
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1 oz Bittersweet chocolate; cut
-into small pieces
4 ts Cherry jam
Confectioners sugar

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment
paper.

In a food processor or with a hand-held electric mixer, combine the cream
cheese, butter, and sour cream until smooth. Add the flour and salt and
process until a dough forms. Divide the dough in half and form two 5-inch
disks. Wrap them in plastic and refrigerate while making the filling.

Place all of the filling ingredients except the jam in a food processor and
process until finely chopped. (The mixture will form a paste.) Remove the
dough from the refrigerator. On a floured surface, roll each disk into a
9-inch circle. Spread each circle with 2 teaspoons of jam. Pat half the
cherry mixture onto each circle. With a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut
each circle into twelve wedges. Starting at the wide end, roll each wedge
up and place it, point-side down, on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on a cake rack and dust
with confectioners' sugar.
