Puff pastry creates a quick and easy "dough" for pretty pinwheel-type cookies featuring two types of nuts. The flaky treats are hard to resist.—Sally Sibthorpe, Shelby Township, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup finely chopped pistachios
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado (washed raw) sugar or sugar

Directions

  1. On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry. Roll into a 12x9-in. rectangle.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, pistachios, brown sugar, butter, honey, cinnamon and salt. Spread over pastry to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Cut into 1/2-in. slices.
  3. Place 2 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush with cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks.
