These pinwheels were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more cream cheese to the filling.

I had a hard time finding crescent roll dough, but I finally found some at the grocery store. The pinwheels were worth the effort though. They were delicious!

These pinwheels were delicious and so easy to make. I used frozen cherries and cranberries and they worked perfectly. I also added a little bit of chopped walnuts for extra crunch. Yum!
