Stuff each pitted date with a 1/2 to 1/4 of a walnut

Blend cream cheese, butter, flour, extract.
Set dough in the refrigerator 10-15 minutes

Remove. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar or flour and roll out the dough. Cut in squares and fold over a pitted date. Brush with a beaten egg and bake at 375º for 15-18 minutes.

NOTE: When wrapping the date, mold the dough over and around the date. If you leave gaps after baking, the dough will split from the date which doesn't look too pretty!
