drizzle evenly over the dough and spread with fingers to cover the whole surface

1/2 c ground walnuts/pecans

1/2 c raisins

1/2 T ground cinnamon

roll the long edge away from you until you have a log

if the roll cracks, simply use the warmth of your hand to press it together again

chill if you need smoother cutting

lay them cut side down in a glass pan or lined cookie sheet
