In large bowl, beat together butter or margarine and cottage cheese til light and fluffy. Add flour until dough forms a ball.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease cookie sheets.
To Make Filling: Combine egg whites, nuts, water, and ground cinammon. Mix well and set aside.
On a floured surface roll 1 portion of dough into a 10 inch circle. Spread circle with 1/3 of the filling to within approximately 1/2 inch of the edge.
Cut circle into 24 pie-shaped wedges. Beginning at outer edge roll up each wedge tightly. Place point side down on cookie sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake 13-15 minutes or until golden (be sure to watch carefully as these cookies burn easily).
