Recipe # 3 Pineapple turnovers

This is a beloved family recipe. My aunt makes them every year for Christmas (yet another reason to yearn for the season!), and we munch through them like cookie monsters. They are delicious! I tried to bake them a few years ago in Sweden but there was no pineapple marmalade, and no pecans, so they we nothing like the ones I remembered. I asked my mom for the recipe, and here it is:

Ingredients (for about 120 small turnovers)

4 cups of flour
3 butter sticks
1 package of cream cheese
1 cup finely chopped pecans
Pineapple marmalade
Sugar (about 1 cup)
Cinammon (to taste, about 1 teaspoon)

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, butter and cream chesse. Use a fork to cream the mix, toss in the pecans. When the mix is almost ready, use your hands to make an even dough. If it gets soggy, don't add more flour, place the dough in the refrigerator in a plastic bag.
2. When the dough is firm, roll the dough in a floured surface with a rolling pin. Cut the dough in small circles (about 2 inch diameter). You can work the dough by parts, leaving the remaining dough in the fridge.  
3. Place the circles in a baking sheet,  spoon a very small amount of marmalade in the center of each one. Close the turnovers pressing the borders to seal the marmalade inside.
4. Bake in preheated oven at 400 F for 12 to 15 minutes.
5. When ready, they should look white-ish on the top, a little golden on the bottom, they should lift easily.
6. Just out of the oven, toss the turnovers in a sugar-cinammon mix. Let cool before serving.

I only made half to try the recipe, they were good -not fabulous-, but I´ll keep trying (practice makes perfect, right?)

By the way, I tried this recipe as number 4 but they were so delicious I didn't have time to snap a photo:
