Ingredients
Ingredients for Cookie Dough
- 2 sticks Unsalted Butter at room temperature
- 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Plain Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
- 1 egg
- 1/2 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract or Pinch of Vanilla Powder
Ingredients for the filling
- 5 oz Guava Paste cut into little pieces
- 1/4 Cup Cream Cheese cut into little pieces
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 300 Degrees F
- Dump all cookie dough ingredients into a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and shape into discs. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- After time has elapsed, remove the dough out of the fridge working with one disc at a time.
- On a floured surface, place the dough into the center, and with the help of a rolling pin, shape the dough into a circle making sure the thickness is as evenly as possible.
- With a small paring knife, cut the dough into 12 slices (just like a pizza)
- Add a small slice of Guava Pasta and cream cheese on the thicker side of each dough slice. Roll starting with the filling side until you get to the other end
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet fitted with parchment paper
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until browned
- Remove from oven and let it cool on the cookie sheet or a baking rack
- ENJOY!
Notes
- Dough can be frozen. Just wrap each piece of dough in Saran Wrap and insert a plastic zip top bag. Don't forget to label your bag. To thaw simply leave in the fridge overnight.
- Dough can be made 2-3 in advance and placed in the fridge. To make it a little softer, leave it at room temperature for at least 30 minutes
- This cookie can be made with any other filling like chocolate spread and jam.
- Cookies should be stored in an airtight container and kept at room temperature up to a week.
