Ingredients for 24 servings

• .66 cup sugar
• .33 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg
• .5 tsp vanilla
• .33 cup sour cream
• 2 cups flour, extra if dough is too sticky
• .75 tsp baking soda
• .75 tsp baking powder
• Dash salt

Filling:

• .33 cup butter, softened and divided
• .5 cup brown sugar, divided
• .5 tsp cinnamon, divided
• .5 cup chopped nuts, divided

Frosting:

• .25 cup butter, softened

Steps

1. Cream together the sugar and butter. Add eggs, vanilla and sour cream and mix well. Add the flour, soda, baking powder and salt. Mix until well combined, adding more flour if dough is too sticky. Form into a flattened round and wrap with plastic wrap. Put into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheet with parchment.
3. Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into 12x5 inch rectangles on a floured piece of plastic wrap. Spread each with the divided filling ingredients, starting with the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. Roll lengthwise (12 inch side) into a log. Cut into 1/2 inch pieces and place on the parchment paper. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Remove and cool for 5 minutes before removing from baking sheet.
4. Mix together the frosting by creaming the butter and cream cheese. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Frost when cookies are cooled.
