Yield Makes 9

Number Of Ingredients 5

All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Danish Dough
Raspberry jam, for filling
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to just over a 13-inch square, a little over 1/4 inch thick. Using a ruler and a pizza wheel or pastry cutter, trim the edges of the dough to form a 12-inch rectangle. Then cut the dough into nine 4-inch squares.
  • Cut squares three-quarters of the way from each corner towards the center. Fold every other point towards the center and press to seal. Fill the center of each pinwheel with 1 teaspoon raspberry jam. Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheets. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rest in a warm place until dough is doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush dough with the beaten egg; sprinkle with sugar. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until pastries are evenly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve at room temperature. Pinwheels are best eaten the same day they are made.

RASPBERRY-NUT PINWHEELS

Great recipe for a cookie swap.

Provided by Cecelia Huddleston

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or lemon extract
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
1 cup walnuts or pecans, finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. In medium bowl, sift together flour and baking powder; set aside. In large bowl, beat together butter, sugar and egg until fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract. Gradually, add flour mixture, stirring until well combined. Roll out dough between two pieces of wax paper to 12x10' rectangle. Remove top piece of wax paper. Spread jam evenly over entire surface of dough. Sprinkle evenly with nuts. Firmly, roll up dough from a long side, jellyroll style , removing wax paper as you roll. Wrap roll in wax paper and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
  • 2. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut roll into generous 1/4" slices with thin sharp knife. Transfer slices to ungreased cookie sheet, spacing 2" apart. Bake 9 minutes. IMMEDIATELY remove from pan. Cool on rack.
  • 3. Hints for Success: 1. It's easy to have too much flour in this recipe. Spoon sifted flour into your measuring cup. If you scoop compacted flour out of the bag with a measuring cup, you will have a dry, hard-to-handle dough. 2. So that you don't squish raspberry jam out of the cookie roll, be sparse with the jam on the last inch of the dough. 3. Turn the dough log 1/4 turn after every few cuts to help keep the cookies round. If out of round, gently press the edges of the sliced dough to bring the cookie into shape. 4. Be sure to remove the cookies from the sheet while they are still warm. IF the jam cools on the sheet, they will be difficult to remove.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries: Fresh raspberries are ideal for this recipe, but frozen raspberries will also work well. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before rolling: Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll and prevent it from sticking to your hands.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pinwheels: A sharp knife will give you clean, even cuts.
  • Bake the pinwheels until they are golden brown: The pinwheels should be baked until they are golden brown on the edges and cooked through in the center.

Conclusion:

Raspberry pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple cream cheese dough that is filled with a sweet raspberry filling. The pinwheels are then baked until golden brown and dusted with powdered sugar. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
