| 1. For cream cheese filling dough: In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. | 2. In large bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat butter and cream cheese until well blended. Gradually add the sugars and beat 3 minutes or until light and creamy. | 3. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low; gradually beat in flour mixture just until blended. | 4. Place level 3/4 cup dough on sheet of plastic wrap. Repeat to make 8 more 3/4 cupfuls. Wrap each with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. | 5. When ready to roll out dough, prepare chocolate filling: In 2-quart saucepan, heat sweetened condensed milk and chocolate over medium heat just until chocolate melts; stirring frequently. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in walnuts. Cool filling to room temperature, about 30 minutes. | 6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 large cookie sheets. | 7. Remove 1 piece of dough from refrigerator. On lightly floured 16-inch sheet of waxed paper, with floured rolling pin, roll dough into 10-inch by 6-inch rectangle. Spread heaping 1/4 cup filling lengthwise down center of rectangle. Starting from a long side and using waxed paper to help lift dough, fold 1 side of dough lengthwise over filling, then remaining side over dough (dough should overlap). | 8. Pick up waxed paper and flip cookie log onto 1 side of prepared cookie sheet, seam side down. Repeat with another piece of dough and filling. Flip second log parallel to first log, leaving about 2 inches between logs. | 9. Bake logs 20-22 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool logs on cookie sheet 2 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. | 10. While logs bake, repeat with remaining dough and filling. | 11. Wrap each cooled log separately with foil or plastic wrap, and store in tightly covered containers at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in freezer up to 3 months. | 12. To serve, sprinkle logs with confectioners' sugar. Cut each log crosswise on the diagonal into 12 slices. (If logs are frozen, thaw completely at room temperature before sprinkling with sugar and slicing). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
