Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
  • To make the pinwheels easier to roll, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before assembling.
  • If the dough is too sticky to work with, add a little more flour.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • To prevent the pinwheels from sticking to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper.
  • Bake the pinwheels until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the pinwheels cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Chocolate mint pinwheels are a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences.
