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.
