Combine nuts, sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Roll dough to 14x8 inch rectangle. Spread 2 tablespoons butter over surface; sprinkle with filling almost to edges. Roll jelly-roll fashion from long side. Place seam side down on greased cookie sheet and shape into circle, pinching seam well to seal.
