On medium speed, beat cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/2 cup butter. Wrap dough and chill one hour.
Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Cook mushrooms and onion until tender. Stir in salt and thyme and remaining 2 tablespoons flour until blended. Turn off heat and stir in sour cream.
On floured surface, thinly roll out half of dough. With cookie cutter, cut 20 (2 3/4-inch) circles. Roll scraps into a ball and chill. On one half of each circle, place a teaspoonful of mushroom mixture. Brush edges with beaten egg. Fold dough over filling and with fork, press edges together. Prick tops. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush with egg. Cover and chill. When ready to serve, bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes until golden.
Serve warm.
Is the cookbook that was published to raise funds for the Good Works Programme still available? I'm anxious to order one. Thanks! :-)
The "Savoring the Sabbath" cookbook - that was a fundraiser for the Good Works program - is not available anymore. We sold all of the copies a few years ago. However, we have the majority of the recipes (still adding more) available within the recipe section at http://www.ucg.org/recipes/ . BTW - If you have a recipe that you think others would like you can submit it by using the link at the top of this webpage - click on "Submit your Recipe". Happy cooking!
