Snickerdoodle Pinwheels Recipe

  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Prep Time: 1 hour
  • Total Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 60 cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:

    • In a small bowl, combine the 1/3 cup sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. Prepare Dough:

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese on medium-high speed for about 30 seconds until creamy and smooth.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:

    • Add the 1 cup of sugar and baking powder to the butter and cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla:

    • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the mixture.
  5. Incorporate Flour:

    • Gradually mix in as much of the all-purpose flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour by hand until a soft dough forms.
  6. Roll Out Dough:

    • Divide the dough in half. Place each half between two sheets of waxed paper. Roll each half into a 12×8-inch rectangle.
  7. Add Cinnamon Sugar Filling:

    • Remove the top sheet of waxed paper from each rectangle. Brush half of the melted butter over one of the dough rectangles. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
  8. Roll Up Dough:

    • Starting from one of the short sides, carefully roll up the dough rectangle into a spiral, removing the waxed paper as you roll. Pinch the edges to seal the roll.
  9. Coat Roll:

    • Roll the sealed dough roll in the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture until it’s evenly coated.
  10. Chill Dough:

    • Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and chill them for about 4 hours, or until the dough is firm.
  11. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or leave them ungreased.
  12. Slice Dough:

    • Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled dough rolls into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  13. Bake:

    • Place the slices onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are firm and lightly golden.
  14. Cool and Serve:

    • Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for about 1 minute before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

These Snickerdoodle Pinwheels are sure to be a hit at any gathering or as a sweet indulgence for yourself. Enjoy the delightful swirls of cinnamon goodness in every bite! 🌟
