Ingredients
1 c. butter
1/2# cream cheese
1/4t. salt
2 c. flour
2T. sugar

Filling:
1/2 c. sugar
1 t. cinnamon

Directions
Cream butter and cream cheese. Add dry ingredients and mix until dough is formed. It will be sticky. Divide into 14 portions and form into balls. Chill overnight.

Roll each ball into a circle and divide into fourths, making 4 triangles. Take 1 triangle and put about 1 t. of the cinnamon sugar, some nuts, and raisins (4/6) at the wide end of the triangle. Fold each side over the filling and roll from the wide end to the point. Shape into a crescent.

Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes (or until lightly browned) on an ungreased cookie sheet.
