Cover and set aside while preparing filling. For Filling: Coarsely chop frozen cherries. Combine sugar and cornstarch; mix well. Combine chopped cherries and sugar mixture in a medium saucepan.

On a lightly floured surface, roll one-third of dough into a 10-inch circle. Spread dough with about 1/2 cup cherry filling, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cut circle into 8 wedgeshape pieces. Roll up dough, beginning at wide end of each wedge. Place cookies, tip side down, about 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush each cookie lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake in a preheated 350 °F (175°C) oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
