I was given this recipe by my friend Mary Stubblefield, years ago. Mary was a very sweet woman with a great sense of humor! She said this recipe was from Mrs. Woody Robinson.

Combine cheese and 1 cup of the softened butter in a large mixer bowl; mix thoroughly.

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.
