In a food processor, mix the cottage cheese, yogurt, sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until well blended and smooth.
¾ cup Cottage cheese, ⅓ cup Plain yogurt, ¼ cup Sugar, ¼ cup Butter, 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
Add the flour mixture to the food processor and mix until a dough forms.
Lightly flour a clean surface, and knead the dough a few times until all the ingredients are blended and you can form a large ball.
Wrap the dough in a plastic wrapper and set it aside. No resting time is needed. Only set the dough aside until you make the filling.
How To make the Filling
Mix the pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon until all the pecans are covered with cinnamon and sugar.
1 cup Pecans, 1½ teaspoon Cinnamon, ⅔ cup Brown sugar
How To Assemble
Lightly flour dust a clean surface, and roll out the dough into a 12x15 inch rectangular shape. Add a little bit of flour under the dough if it is sticking to the surface.
Brush the surface of the melted butter. Spread the filling evenly all over the dough.
2 tablespoon Butter
Start rolling the dough from the longer side. Pinch the first roll tightly to secure the filling inside the roll. If the center of the roll is thicker, roll the palms of your hand over the thicker area, to even out the roll all throughout.
Cut the roll into 12 equal slices, and place on the prepared pan. If there is some space between them, it's okay. Once the rolls bake, the space will fill up.
Bake the rolls in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Prepare The Glaze
Mix the powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (If using) until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
1 cup Powdered sugar, ¼ cup Maple syrup, ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
Pour the glaze over the hot rolls. These rolls are more delicious when served warm.
