Description

These Halloween Pinwheel Cookies are festive, colorful treats perfect for celebrating Halloween. With vibrant green and purple swirls, they are both visually appealing and delicious.


Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Unsalted butter, softened
  • Granulated sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • Gel food coloring (green and purple recommended)

Instructions

  • Make the Dough:
    • Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
    • Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
    • In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, combining until just mixed.
  • Divide and Color the Dough:
    • Split the dough into two portions.
    • Add green gel food coloring to one portion and purple to the other. Knead until the colors are well-distributed.
    • Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Roll the Dough:
    • On a floured surface, roll out each colored dough into rectangles.
    • Layer the green dough on top of the purple dough. Lightly roll them together.
    • Trim the edges and roll the dough into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another hour.
  • Slice and Bake:
    • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
    • Slice the dough log into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    • Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until set. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is well-chilled to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Use a serrated knife to get clean slices of the dough log.
