How to make it
- In a medium bowl mix egg yolks, philly cheese and baking powder using a hand held mixer.
- Carefully start adding the flour.
- When the mixture will not be mixing well, and will look like wood chips, put away the blending mixer and using your hands knead the dough.
- Create a roll and cover in foil and freeze for 15 minutes. At this time preheat the oven to 375.
- Take the dough out and separate into two. Roll and cut out 3 inch trangles.
- Make as many as you can and on centre of each put a small spoon of jam. Roll them into a croissant shape.
- Place the croissants onto a greased cookie sheet, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
- Repeat with the rest of the dough.
- When you take them out, put aside and sprinkle with powdered sugar on top.
- This makes about 3 batches of 20 cookies each.
- Total count about 60 cookies.
