Ingredients:

Directions:
Cream together the margarine and cream cheese in the bowl of an
electric mixer. Blend in the vanilla. Mix in the flour. Chill the dough.
To make the Filling:

and cinnamon. If you have a food processor, place the whole walnuts and
raisins into the bowl, sprinkle with the cinnamon, and chop them
together by processing in short pulses.

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a 10
to 12 inch circle 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured board or between
two sheets of waxed paper.
Spread a light layer of preserves (approximately 2 tablespoons) onto
each dough circle. Sprinkle each circle with approximately 1/4 cup of
the chopped nut-raisin-cinnamon mixture.
Cut each circle into 16 wedges using a pastry cutter or a pizza cutter.
Roll each wedge from base to point. Place point down on a lightly
greased or parchment lined baking sheets.
Bake for 15-17 minutes at 375 degrees (or until golden). Remove to
racks to cool.
Christmas Fact
In North America, children put stockings out at Christmas time. Their Dutch counterparts, however, use shoes. Dutch children set out shoes to receive gifts any time between mid-November and December 5, St. Nicholas' birthday.
