4 8-oz. pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1 c. butter, softened
2 c. all-purpose flour
16-oz. jar apricot preserves
1/2 lb. nuts, ground

Combine cream cheese, butter and flour; blend well. Form into a roll 3 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap; place in refrigerator overnight. Slice dough into one-inch thick slices; roll out to 1/4-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 2-inch squares, working quickly so dough does not become sticky. To make filling, mix together preserves and nuts. Place a teaspoon of filling on each square of dough. Fold one corner halfway across the square; fold the other corner over the first fold to form a crescent. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden. Makes about 4 dozen.
