  6. With a small paring knife, cut the dough into 12 slices (just like a pizza)
  7. 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
  8. Place the cookies on a baking sheet fitted with parchment paper
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until browned
  10. Remove from oven and let it cool on the cookie sheet or a baking rack

Recipe 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.
