Puff pastry creates a quick and easy "dough" for pretty, pinwheel-type cookies featuring two types of nuts. The flakey 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

On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry. Roll into a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle.
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.
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.
