Cinnamon Raisin Nut Rolls

Ingredients

Cream Cheese, at room temperature: 4 ounces

Brown sugar, packed: half cup

Ground cinnamon: half tsp

Raisins, soaked in warm water for 15 minutes and patted dry: quarter cup

Phyllo dough: 1 roll(half of a package)

Butter, melted but not hot: quarter cup(half of a stick)

Method

Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Place cream cheese, brown sugar and cinnamon in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth. Chop raisins to pieces. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a flat work surface. Brush with melted butter. Repeat until you have six layers of phyllo. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese filling over phyllo, leaving one inch dry lengthwise and half inch dry on the short side.

Roll up lengthwise like a jelly roll. Repeat until all phyloo and filling is used up. Cut each slice, seam-side down, 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
