| 1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. | 2. Add vanilla, beat in well. | 3. Add flours, nutmeg and ground walnuts, beating inches | 4. Fold in the chopped walnuts and currants (if using). [Photo24688] | 5. Scoop 1/2 the batter (it will be very soft and sticky) onto a sheet of wax paper set on a double layer of foil. | 6. Using damp hands, roll dough into a log about 2" in diameter. | 7. Wrap in the waxed paper / foil layers and freeze until very firm, at the least 3-4 hours and up to 6 months. | 8. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment. | 9. Unwrap one log and roll it in the coarse sugar to coat the sides completely. | 10. Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the log into 1/4" thick rounds and place them 1" apart on sheets. | 11. Lightly press a walnut half onto the tacky surface of each cookie (dough will have defrosted somewhat) and using a pastry brush lightly glaze the top of each round. | 12. Bake, one sheet at a time, for 16-17 minutes. They will not look overly browned but this is OK. | 13. Cool completely on the sheets. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
