Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup apricot jam or preserves
1/4 chopped unblanched almonds

Steps:

  • In large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon, until light and fluffy. Stir in flour and salt. Cover and refrigerate about 30 minutes or until firm.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease cookie sheets with shortening. On generously floured surface, roll dough into 16x12-inch rectangle. Cut rectangle into 48 (2-inch) squares, 8 rows by 6 rows. Use metal spatula to place squares 1 inch apart on cookie sheets.
  • Spread each square with about 1/4 teaspoon jam. On each square, cut from each corner to 1/4 inch from center. Bring every other point to center and press together to form pinwheel. Sprinkle each with almonds.

These were really good, but I think they would have been even better if I had used fresh apricots instead of canned.

I had some trouble getting the pinwheels to roll up without breaking. I think I might have needed to chill the dough for longer.

These were a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I might try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of apricots, but I loved these pinwheels! The cream cheese filling really balances out the tartness of the apricots.

I love that this recipe uses fresh apricots. It really gives the pinwheels a bright, summery flavor.

These were so easy to make and turned out so cute! I used a heart-shaped cookie cutter and they were perfect for Valentine's Day.
