1/3 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons water

1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup butter, softened

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PINWHEELS



Chocolate Peanut Butter Pinwheels image

This wonderful cookie recipe is one that I am begged to make over the holidays every year! They are out of a really, really old McCall's cookbook that my mother used to use. I took them to work last year, and everyone started calling me Julia Child! They are well worth the effort!

Time 36m

Yield 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter or 1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (6 ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels
1 teaspoon butter

Steps:

  • Sift flour with soda and salt.
  • Set aside.
  • Beat butter until fluffy.
  • Beat in sugar.
  • Beat in peanut butter, egg, and vanilla.
  • At low speed, add half flour mixture.
  • Mix in the rest by hand to form a stiff dough.
  • Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling (I am told that one can easily melt chocolate chips in a microwave, but I have not tried it. If you know how to do it, have at it!) Melt chocolate over hot (NOT BOILING) water, add butter.
  • Cool.
  • Divide dough in half.
  • Roll each half into a 8x10 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  • Spread each with half the filling.
  • From the long side, roll each rectangle tightly like a jelly roll.
  • Gently press edge to seal.
  • Wrap separately, seam side down, in saran wrap or foil.
  • Refrigerate until firm, about 8 hours or overnight before slicing and baking.
  • (They will keep in the fridge for a little over a week.) Preheat oven to 375, and place 1/2 inch slices 1 1/2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Let cool for a few minutes on sheet, then cool on wire rack.
  • Makes 40 cookies all together.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven, resulting in a neater pinwheel shape.
  • Use a sharp knife: When slicing the dough into pinwheels, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even cuts.
  • Roll the dough tightly: Roll the dough tightly into a log shape before slicing it into pinwheels. This will help keep the layers of dough together and prevent them from unraveling during baking.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the pinwheels until they are golden brown around the edges. This will ensure that they are fully cooked through without being overbaked.
  • Let cool completely: Allow the pinwheels to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
