I knew I'd hit a winner with these crisp roll-ups when my sister first sampled them. After one taste, she was so impressed she asked me to bake her wedding cake!

Angel Wings Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 20 min.
  • Yield: 21 Servings
30 20 50

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 10 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • Colored sugar, optional

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cut butter into flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sour cream. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 6-8 times or until mixture holds together. Shape into four balls; flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Unwrap one ball. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar on waxed paper; coat all sides of ball with sugar. Roll into a 12-in. x 5-in. rectangle between two sheets of waxed paper. Remove top sheet of waxed paper. Sprinkle dough with 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Lightly mark a line down the center of the dough, making two 6-in. x 5-in. rectangles.
  • Starting with a short side, roll up jelly-roll style to the center mark; peel waxed paper away while rolling. Repeat with other short side. Wrap in plastic wrap; freeze for 30 minutes. Repeat three times.
  • Place remaining sugar or place colored sugar if desired on waxed paper. Unwrap one roll. Cut into 1/2-in. slices; dip each side into sugar. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake at 375° for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Turn cookies; bake 5-8 minutes longer. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 3 dozen.

I was disappointed with the turn out after so much time and effort was put into them. I followed the recipe to a 'T', but still there was issues. 1) the dough stuck to the wax paper 2) the cookies stuck to the pan 3) because the sugar is added before baking it melted off and burned. All around this recipe is not worth the trouble...

I made these cookies for Christmas two years back and everyone was disappointed I forgot to make them last year so this year I am making a double batch. So easy to make and to guarantee they shine on a cookie platter, I use a colored or decorative sugar in the second sugar step. also add a dash of salt to the recipe.

I loved this recipe. It reminds me of cookie I had growing up that I can't get now. I made them and gave them as gifts.

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it sounds great. In response to oprabuff, perhaps they shouldn't be stored in an airtight container. I would store loosely covered.

While these cookies are crisp and delicious on the first day, after stored in a container, they become soft and oily.

These cookies were good, but I believe it was only because of the addition of 1/2 tsp of salt. I'm always suspicious of recipes for baked goods that contain no salt. I believe that sallt balances the otherwise bland sweetness. And without the salt, these were very bland. But with salt they were well accepted by everyone.
