Holiday Pinwheel Cookies Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch

Yield: 28 Servings

20 10 30

Ingredients

1 tube (16-1/2 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1/4 to 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons red colored sugar
3 tablespoons green colored sugar

Directions

Let cookie dough stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. On a floured surface, knead cookie dough and enough flour to make dough easy to handle.
Divide dough in half. Roll one portion into a 12-in. x 7-in. rectangle. Sprinkle with red sugar. Tightly roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough and green sugar. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.
Unwrap and cut into 1/2-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 2-1/4 dozen.

I love the idea, the cookies were pretty good, but impossible to roll. Where did someone get the idea that little kids could do it?

Adding the 1/2 cup flour made the dough to dry to roll, but when left out the refrigerated dough still wouldn't roll. I ended up making batches of sprinkle filled cookies that looked horrible and tasted store bought.
