Great recipe for a cookie swap.

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.

I'm not a fan of raspberries, so I used strawberries instead. The pinwheels still turned out great.

I had some trouble getting the dough to roll out evenly, but I was still able to make the pinwheels. They turned out a little messy, but they still tasted great.

These pinwheels were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I used a different type of nuts (walnuts) and they worked just as well as the pecans.

I'm not a fan of cream cheese, so I substituted it with Neufchâtel cheese. The pinwheels still turned out great.

These pinwheels are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The raspberries add a pop of sweetness while the nuts add a nice crunch.

I'm not a huge fan of raspberries but these pinwheels were still delicious. The cream cheese and nuts balanced out the sweetness of the raspberries perfectly.
