Tips for making Easy Pinwheel Cookies
The dough will be sticky, you need to make sure you are really keeping the dough cold to make the butter firm.
When you roll out the dough you want to make sure you are rolling it in between the parchment paper or wax paper or it will stick to your rolling pin.
After you roll it out the dough you need to place the dough in the fridge for at least an hour. If for some reason the dough is to squishy feeling you can add a 1/2 cup of flour to the dough.
Put the snowflake sprinkle on AFTER they are done baking, if you put them on the cookies before baking they will melt.
Frozen Pinwheel Cookies Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cups butter (2 sticks)
- 2 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- blue food coloring
- 1 cup white and blue sprinkles
- Wilton snowflake sprinkles
How to Make Pinwheel Cookies
Cream sugar and butter until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
When sugar and butter are mixed well and fluffy, add egg and vanilla.
Next mix the dry ingredients together in separate bowl.
Once dry ingredients are mixed add them to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Separate the dough in half and color one part blue with blue food coloring.
Put the freshly made non dyed dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll 11 x 9 inches and 1/4 inch thick. Once the first section of sugar cookie dough is rolled out, Repeat with the blue colored sugar cookie dough.
Put the rolled dough including the parchment paper, on a cookie sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes or longer.
Once the dough is chilled, remove from the fridge and Take the top layer of parchment paper off both doughs and lightly wet the tops with water.
Sandwich the two colors together with the parchment paper on the outside of the dough so that the dough is touching each other. Using a paring knife trim the edges of the dough to make straight edges and make each piece of dough the same exact size.
Remove the top layer of parchment paper, leaving the parchment paper that is on the bottom color still there and and start rolling up and use the bottom layer of paper to pull it tight. If the dough tears you can just pinch it together.
Poor the sprinkles onto a large platter and roll the log onto the sprinkles and press them in.
Place the dough into the fridge for 15 minutes or longer.
Once the dough is chilled, remove from the fridge and slice the dough into 1/4 inch slices and place on parchment lined baking sheets.
Bake at 325° F for 10 -15 minutes. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven place a snowflake in the middle of the cookie.

Angie says
You states eggs (in plural) in your recipe, yet it calls for 1 egg. Is it a mistake? How many eggs?
MidgetMomma says
its 1 egg 🙂 I think its habit for me to type eggs and not egg lol cause i seem to have the same problem for all recipes that have 1 egg and then i put the s on the end of it when typing it up lol
Amy says
Is there just one egg in this recipe? It states one but consistently mentioned in plural. Just wanted to verify before taking this on! Thanks!
Erika says
This didn’t work… There’s definitely some liquid needed… is it possibly more eggs? As you have 1 listed only a plural word. Please correct.
MidgetMomma says
you have to make sure you let the dough sit in the fridge or they crumble like there is not enough liquid 🙂
Allison says
Could the dough be made ahead of time and frozen until I am ready to use it?
Annie says
how many cookies are approximately in one batch? Thanks!
MidgetMomma says
It depends on how thick you slice them but you should have no issues geting 24+ 🙂
malinda says
Can I freeze ahead of time and bake when I need it?.
MidgetMomma says
that should work fine as long as you wrap them well before freezing
Layla says
Should this have been self rising flour? Batter is reallllly runny and flat
brooke says
The dough is too crumbly. What can I do?
Yvonne says
Hey
Ich bin etwas ahnungslos. In der Anleitung steht was von Sahne aber in der Zutaten Liste ist sie nicht aufgeführt ?
Stephanie says
I am sorry google is not translating this for me I am not sure what you said.
Yvonne says
Kommt sahne dazu
Debra wise says
These cookies are so cute. I’ve never tried ‘rolling’ dough before. Do you actually roll the parchment paper into the dough as you roll? When you say to sandwich the 2 dough, is this side by side or one on top of the other?
Thanks.
Stephanie says
You have to roll it in between the parchment paper or its too sticky.
