This is a family favorite that is a must every Christmas. I find that if I grease the pan and take it off the pan right away, it does really help. The parchment paper would help, too. I also double the recipe so that I have a couple of rolls to slice and bake a little bit later for a delicious treat.

Now these tasted great! You could really taste the raspberry filling. The hint about using Parchment paper really did help. No problems at all. Will be making these again.

I make these every Christmas and my family loves them! They are not really all that difficult to get right. They do stick a little but not enough to stop me from making them.

I make these cookies every year,and they are a favorite of many co-workers,family members, and neighbors. They are a little tricky but worth the work!

This is a horrible recipe. The cookies stick to the pan even if you use paper. Don't waste your time or your ingrediants on this one.

I didn't have a problem with sticking using baking paper. Just don't over bake them. They looked really good and my family liked them.

I made these cookies for the first time last Christmas -- in addition to 7 others. They weren't my favorite cookie, but I was surpised to hear that they were the favorite of several of my friends.

Just backed a batch for one of those friend's birthday luncheon tomorrow.

HINT: To keep them from sticking to the pan, use parchment paper and let them cool for several minutes to firm up. Then, lift carefully with small offset spatula.

This was the first time I tried a swirl cookie. I did not like it at all. It wasn't easy and they stuck like crazy to the pan, even after spraying it. They tasted ok, but none of them came out looking very good. Getting them round and pretty just wasn't what I thought it would be regardless of how long I froze the roll.

I have been looking for 50 years for a recipe similar to this. The dough was with peanut butter and had a chocolate syrupy filling. Love to get this recipe. Anyone have it??? - Mary L
