RUGELACH 
10 oz. butter
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1/4 c. heavy cream
1 tsp. salt
2 1/2 c. flour
6 tbsp. sugar
1 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 c. chopped walnuts
1 c. raisins

Beat 1/2 pound butter and the cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in cream and salt. Gradually beat in flour until just combined. Divide dough in 4 parts. Wrap each and put in freezer until cold, about 1/2 hour. Melt remaining 2 ounces butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Working with 1/4 of the dough at a time, roll each part into a 1/8 inch thick round on a floured surface. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon sugar and 1/4 cup each walnuts and raisins. Cut round into 16 wedges. Roll each up, starting with wide end. Put on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
