Mrs. Robinson'S Meltaway Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup cottage cheese
    1 1/4 cups butter, softened and divided
    2 cups flour
    3/4 cup light brown sugar
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
    1 egg yolk
    2 teaspoons water
Preparation
    Combine cheese and 1 cup of the softened butter in a large mixer bowl; mix thoroughly.
    Add flour gradually, beating until dough forms a ball (add extra flour if dough doesn't form a good ball).
    Divide dough into thirds; wrap in wax paper and chill several hours.
    Roll each piece into a 9-inch circle on a lightly floured board.
    Combine remaining butter, sugar, cinnamon, and pecans; spread each circle of the dough with 1/3 of the sugar mixture.
    Cut each circle into 16 pie shaped pieces and roll each up tightly, beginning at the wide end.
    Place the pointed end down on a greased cookie sheet.
    Beat egg yolks and water together and brush on cookies.
    Bake in a preheated oven at 400F about 20 minutes.
