Grape Pinwheels

  • 1 cup soft butter or margarine
  • 2-3/4 cups flour
  • 1-8oz. package soft cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup Welch's Grape Jam
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tsp. vanilla sugar
  • 1/8 tsp. salt

In a large bowl at medium speed, beat butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla and salt. At low speed, gradually beat in flour until a ball forms. Divide dough into 2 portions. Cover and chill for 30 minutes. On lightly floured surface, roll each dough portion into a 14"x10" rectangle. Spread each with grape jam. Sprinkle with walnuts. Roll like a jelly roll. Wrap in waxed paper and chill at least 4 hours. Preheat over to 350ºF. Grease cookie sheet. Cut rolls into 1/2 inch slices. Dip one cut side in sugar. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
