Hi! I make these cookies,Rugelach, that I've been told they are similar to your " Butter Rolls". These are Jewish cookies that I got out of a magazine a few years ago and have been making them ever since.
Rugelach PASTRY: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 1/2 tsp. salt 2 cups all-purpose flour FILLING: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/2 TBSP. cinnamon 6 TBSP. ground walnuts ( or any kind of nuts )
Beat the butter, cream cheese, and salt until smooth and creamy. On low speed,beat in the flour. divide the dough into 4 pieces, wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm ( about 1-3 hours), can be kept this way, wrapped well, for at least 1 week.
Combine the cinnamon and sugar. Mix well.
On a floured surface, roll out each disk into a 10" circle. Brush circle with melted butter then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and then nuts. Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into 8 wedges. Starting with the wide end, roll each wedge up jelly-roll fashion. Place point-side down on greased cookie sheet. Bend cookie into a crescent shape. Bake at 350 F. for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Brush tops of cookies with remaining butter and then sprinkle tops with remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Remove cookies to wire rack to cool. Enjoy!
