The Goal
The Goal
A pinwheel cookie has at least two colors of dough that are rolled out, layered on top of each other, and then rolled into a log. This process produces a spiral effect when the log is sliced and baked. The larger you roll out your dough the more swirls your spiral will have.
How To Get That Swirl
Step 1 - Roll each color of dough into a large flat rectangle between two sheets of wax paper. Each rectangle should be of the same size because they will be layered on top of each other
Step 2 - Carefully peel off one sheet of wax paper from each dough and place one on top of the other (bare sides together). Try to line up the edges.
Step 3 - Carefully peel off the top sheet of wax paper, without tearing the dough.
Step 4 - Starting on one short end, roll the dough into a tight log. Unpeel the bottom sheet of wax paper as you roll.
Step 5 - Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least a few hours.
