  1. Very yummy, a little effort with the overnight resting though. I think these would be so much fun for children to make, pressing out the pastry and folding over. I didn't stir the cream cheese in with a spoon but mashed it in with my hands like scone dough. Next time I will buy almond meal so that it sticks better, I think mine was a little chunky this time.
