Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the white cream cheese and butter together with a fork until well combined.
- Add the sifted flour and mix in thoroughly with your hands to form a dough.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for several hours.
- Roll out the dough on a surface covered with approximately 1 cup of confectioners sugar.
- Cut the dough into oblong pieces approximately 1 x 3 inches.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing. If you don't have walnuts, pecans or almonds make excellent substitutes. To prevent sticking while rolling out the dough, lightly dust your surface with more confectioners sugar. Chill the dough longer if it's too soft to handle, ensuring a cleaner cut.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful cookies alongside a cup of tea or coffee for an afternoon treat. They pair beautifully with a fruit platter or can be enjoyed as a sweet finish to a meal. For a special occasion, consider serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside slices of Peach Clafouti.

Store leftover Nut Bonbon Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate them where they can last for up to two weeks. If you want to enjoy them warm, reheat briefly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, just until soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the dough for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the dough before rolling it out. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container. It can be frozen for up to three months. When ready to use, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before rolling out.
What can I use instead of cream cheese?
If you're looking for a substitute for cream cheese, try using mascarpone or a dairy-free cream cheese alternative. Both will provide a similar texture, though the flavor may vary slightly. Adjust the sweetness accordingly if using a dairy-free option.
How can I make these cookies more festive?
To add a festive touch, consider incorporating colorful sprinkles or a drizzle of melted chocolate on top of the cookies after baking. You can also experiment with adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a seasonal flavor profile.
