COTTAGE CHEESE MELT-AWAYS

FOR THE PASTRY:
1 (8-ounce) container cream-style cottage cheese (1 cup)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) butter, melted
FOR NUT FILLING:
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

TO PREPARE THE PASTRY:
Beat cottage cheese and softened butter in mixing bowl until smooth. Add flour; mix until dough forms a ball. Flatten into a round; wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.

WHEN READY TO BAKE:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Divide dough into thirds. On a floured surface, roll out each ball into a 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Brush each circle of dough with a third of the melted butter.

TO PREPARE THE FILLING:
Combine cinnamon, brown sugar and nuts. Sprinkle a third of the filling over each circle of dough.

TO ASSEMBLE AND BAKE:

Bake 25 to 30 minutes.
