Ingredients
48 servings
- •1 cup cottage cheese
- •1 cup butter, softened
- •2 cups all-purpose flour
- •¼ cup butter, softened
- •¾ cup brown sugar
- •¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- •¾ cup chopped pecans
- •½ cup raisins (Optional)
- •3 tablespoons orange marmalade (Optional)
- •1 egg white
- •2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Combine cottage cheese and 1 cup of butter in a bowl. Mix thoroughly, then gradually stir in the flour. Dough will be sticky. Divide dough into thirds and wrap with waxed paper. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of butter with the brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans, and raisins. Set aside. Roll one ball of dough at a time to a 9 inch circle on a floured surface, while keeping the remaining dough chilled. Spread 1 tablespoon of the optional orange marmalade over the circle. Gently press 1/3 of the nut mixture into the dough. Cut the circle into 16 wedges. Roll each wedge tightly, starting with the wide end. Place the cookie point-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. Beat the egg white with the water in a small bowl, then brush the mixture onto each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
