Pineapple Star Cookies

Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour

FILLING:
1/3 cup sugar
2-1/4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened crushed pineapple

FROSTING:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts


Directions
In a large bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the flour and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine sugar and flour; add pineapple and stir until blended. Cook over low heat until mixture comes to a boil and is thickened. Cover and refrigerate.

Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut into 3-in. squares. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.

To form star, make a 1-1/4-in. cut from each corner toward center (do not cut through center). Place 1/2 teaspoon of pineapple filling in the center of each. Fold every other point toward the center, overlapping pieces; press lightly to seal.

Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool.

For frosting, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, milk and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over cookies; sprinkle with walnuts.
