Mix first four ingredients and set aside. Mix sifted flour with salt and butter and work with fingers like pie dough. (I use food processor) In blender, beat 6 eggs well with flavoring. Add to dough mixture and then add yeast mixture. Mix well. Knead dough and add more flour if needed. Refrigerate overnight. Cut into 8 or 9 balls. Roll each ball of dough out in confectionary sugar in a round like pie crust. Cut into 8 wedges. On each wedge place 1 teaspoon of cream cheese mixture. Roll up and form into crescent shape. Grease pans.
