Pillsbury's Best Flour (regular, instant blending or self-rising - omit salt if using self-rising flour) 1/8 tsp. salt 3/4 c. butter 1 egg 3 oz. pkg. softened cream cheese 1/2 c. sugar 1 tsp. grated orange peel or 1 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. grated lemon peel 1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts Confectioners sugar Soften yeast in warm water.

Roll out dough, half at a time, on floured surface to a 13x9 inch rectangle. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and orange peel or vanilla, and lemon peel until light and fluffy. Spread half on each rectangle; sprinkle with walnuts. Starting with 13 inch side, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Place, seam side down, on lightly greased cookie sheet. Cut each roll halfway through lengthwise. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Cool. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar. Cut diagonally into 1-inch slices. Makes about 24 cookies. | |

Kathy (Alabama) says:
This recipe is over 40 yrs old and it is delicious. They are called "walkaways," because they are so tasty the disappear by being walked away into people's mouths. I have added melted and cooled jams to spread over the dough under the creme cheese, or anyway you want to add it. It adds the most incredible moistness to the filling.

This recipe has been a Christmas cookie staple in my family for as long as I can remember. I've brought them too work and my co-workers rave over them. They weren't my favorite when I was little, then flavors are too subtle for kids I think, but now they truly are one of my favorite cookies. They are still my mother's absolute favorite cookie of all time.

This is just like the recipe I saved from the Cleveland Plain Dealer Food Section back in 1966! I've made it every year for Christmas since then. Sometimes, I add red food coloring to half the cream cheese mixture and green to the other half for a more festive appearance. And, believe me, they do indeed walk right away from the serving plate!

So delicately delicious!
Do not cut lengthwise halfway, cut down the middle lengthwise only enough to reveal the inside mixture, otherwise the roll bursts open.

I have made these cookies at Christmas and when requested for special occasions, for around 50 years! They were my husband's favorite. They are delicious!
