How to Make Raspberry Cheese Crescents

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 8 ounces cream cheese, softened, until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
  6. Cover and chill the dough for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Lightly flour a surface with powdered sugar. Gently pat each dough ball into a 2 1/2-inch circle.
  8. Spoon 1 teaspoon raspberry jam or preserves into the center of each circle.
  9. Fold the circles in half, pressing the edges firmly to seal, ensuring no air is trapped inside.
  10. Place the crescents on lightly greased baking sheets.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg white.
  12. Brush the egg white over the crescents.
  13. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup sliced almonds.
  14. Sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon-almond mixture evenly over the crescents.
  15. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
