Best 5 Cinnamon Sour Cream Pinwheels Recipes

CINNAMON PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Measure flour into a large bowl. Add the salt and shortening. Using two dull butter knives or a pastry blender, blend the flour, salt and shortening until the shortening is the size of peas. Fill a wide-mouthed glass with ice. Add water to the top. Measure or pour the ice cold water into the flour mixture. Using a spatula or your hands, mix the water into the flour to form a large ball of dough. You may need to add an extra tablespoon of water if you have excess flour. If you added too much water, add additional flour until the dough is well formed but not too sticky. Handle and mix the dough as little as possible. Separate dough into two equal pieces and wrap the pieces separately in wax paper and put them in the freezer for 10 minutes or the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt butter and reserve. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together sugar and cinnamon to combine. Set aside. On a well floured surface, roll out one piece of chilled dough into a rectangular shape about 12' by 8'. Using a pastry brush, brush melted butter evenly over the pastry. Sprinkle half of the reserved cinnamon-sugar over the melted butter and spread out evenly with a spatula. Roll up the dough along the short side so that you have a 12' long jellyroll. Using a pastry knife, cut roll into 1/2' pieces. Place pieces onto a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with second piece of dough, using remaining butter and cinnamon-sugar. Bake at 350°F until rolls have turns golden brown, about 40 min. If using two oven racks, switch position of the baking sheets after 20 min. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 min. Transfer to a serving plate and sever warm or let cool until room temperature.

CINNAMON PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Remove half of the dough and wrap in plastic wrap. Add the cinnamon extract, cocoa powder and food coloring to the remaining dough and beat until incorporated; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate both pieces of dough until firm, about 1 hour.
• Dust the dough with flour and roll out each piece on parchment paper into a 10-by-11-inch rectangle. Flip the red dough on top of the plain dough; remove the top piece of parchment and trim the edges. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and sanding sugar on top. Starting from a short end, tightly roll up the dough, using the parchment to help; roll the log in sanding sugar. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Slice the log crosswise 1/4 inch thick; arrange the slices about 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until slightly puffed and lightly golden on the bottom, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool.

CINNAMON SOUR CREAM COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together and set aside.
• Beat the butter with the sugar until well blended and creamy. Beat in the egg.
• Mix the sour cream and baking soda together and add to the butter mixture. Add the dry ingredients and beat well to make a soft dough. It will be sticky, so cover and chill the dough for about 30 minutes until it is firm enough to handle. If the kitchen is hot you may need to chill the dough a little longer.
• Lightly grease baking sheets. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Take walnut-size pieces of the dough and roll into balls. Arrange on the baking sheets about two inches apart to allow for spreading. Flatten the balls with the tines of a fork. Bake 10 to 15 minutes until the cookies are golden brown but still slightly soft in the center. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes on the pans, then transfer them to racks to cool completely.
