Chocolate Pinwheel Cookies and Slice and Bake Brownie Rounds


3062829486_3c06e232b4

This is the first time I've ever made pinwheel cookies. I really enjoyed making this, A little hint...use parchment paper and only let them in for the shortest baking time. The kids gobbled these up!  To Read More, Click On The Recipe Title.


 As you'll see when I started looking for cookie recipes I went to Land O lakes, I wanted slice and bake cookies, make them up one night ,bake them the next. Easy and stress free, that's my motto for this cookie baking season. I just hope it stays that way!! LOL!!

Chocolate Pinwheel Cookies
Land O Lakes

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 (1-ounce) squares white baking bars, melted, cooled
1 2/3cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (1-ounce) square unsweetened baking chocolate, melted, cooled

Combine sugar, butter, egg and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add cooled melted white baking bars. Continue beating until well mixed. Add flour, baking powder and salt. Continue beating until well mixed. Remove half of dough. To remaining dough in bowl add cooled melted chocolate. Beat until well mixed. Shape each half of dough into 6x3-inch rectangle. Wrap in plastic food wrap; refrigerate until firm (at least 1 hour). Roll out white dough to 15x7-inch rectangle on lightly floured waxed paper. Repeat with chocolate dough. Place chocolate dough on top of white dough. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with 15-inch side. (For easier handling, roll can be cut in half.) Wrap roll in plastic food wrap; refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours). Heat oven to 375°F. Cut rolls into 1/4-inch slices. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until edges begin to brown

These smelled like brownies baking in the oven!! Seriously good! I didn't have mini semi sweet chocolate chips so I used regular, I also didn't have any large grain sugar to roll them in, they were good without it!

Oh oh...four different cookie recipes. This is trouble.

Great tip! I don't think freezing the kisses would have ever occurred to me.

So many cookies, so little time! They all look great.

What a lot of delicious looking cookies Bunny!!! I wish we could get the candy kisses over here. I do have some that a kind person sent to me so I may try at least one of these. I do love your slice and bake one though as well, so I may make them too!! Your photos are just getting better and better all the time! Well done!

Cristine said...

Those all look FANTASTIC! YUM!

Shelby said...

All the cookies sound great! I especially love the ones with the kisses (go figure! he he). Great tip on freezing first. I'm also so jealous you have the pumpkin spice kisses. They don't have them in my neck of the woods and I have looked every time I go to the store since I see them on Jenny's site.

RecipeGirl said...

Mmmmm- they all look wonderful! I especially like the idea of doing the cherry kiss one.

Daziano said...

Glad you have time to bake!!! I hope I can get some done. It's been hectic. They look good. Can you send some my way, in case I can't bake my own?!!!!

i'd like a dozen of each, please. hershey kisses of all flavors are delicious, but they're undoubtedly best when placed atop a cookie. :)

Heather said...

Love the tips. Those pinwheels are something I'm going to try one day very soon. They look so decorative with all the other mono coloured cookies.

Hi Bunny,
I happened upon this delicious cookie post of yours while looking through my search engine for creative ideas for Hershey Kisses. You see, today is the Hershey Kisses' birthday. I hope you don't mind that I borrowed your link for Chocolate Cherry Kisses to include in my post. Here's the link if you want to check it out.

Thank you so much for sharing...
