Cinnamon Sour Cream Pinwheels Recipes

CINNAMON PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Combine the granulated sugar and the cinnamon in a small dish and set aside.
• To make the pie crust: In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour and salt. Pulse a few times to combine.
• Add in cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse sand.
• Alternatively, you can cut the butter into the flour with your fingertips or a pastry cutter if you don't have a food processor. You'll need to work quickly so the butter doesn't melt.
• Drizzle in the water and pulse until the mixture starts to form clumps.
• Add more water a tablespoon at a time if the mixture looks too dry and won't clump together when squeezed in your hand.
• Once mixed, pour the pie dough onto a piece of plastic wrap.
• Quickly and gently press the dough together into a rectangle. Do not work the dough too much, or the crust will be tough.
• Wrap in the plastic and chill in the fridge for one hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375° and adjust your oven rack to the middle height position in your oven (I have 8 shelves, so I put my rack on the 4th shelf up from the bottom).
• Rolling and Shaping the Cookies: once the dough has chilled, cut the dough in half and roll out to about 1/4" thick.
• Make a rectangle about two times wider than it is tall.
• Feel free to trim the edges of your rectangle to make them all neater if you desire.
• Pour 1 tablespoon of melted butter onto your rolled out dough.
• Using a pastry brush, spread the melted butter over the dough until it's evenly coated.
• Sprinkle on a generous 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Starting from the bottom edge of the rectangle, roll up the pinwheels tightly until you have a nice even log.
• Trim off the ends and cut into 1" slices.
• Place the slices onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, cinnamon swirl side facing up.
• Repeat the rolling, filling, and slicing process with your second half of dough.
• If you have extra cinnamon sugar left over--that's ok! You can use it to sprinkle over the tops of the cookies before baking!
• If the dough is really soft, pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
• Bake in a 375° oven for 15-18 minutes, until the sides are puffed, and the bottom edge is lightly golden brown.

CINNAMON PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Remove half of the dough and wrap in plastic wrap. Add the cinnamon extract, cocoa powder and food coloring to the remaining dough and beat until incorporated; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate both pieces of dough until firm, about 1 hour.
• Dust the dough with flour and roll out each piece on parchment paper into a 10-by-11-inch rectangle. Flip the red dough on top of the plain dough; remove the top piece of parchment and trim the edges. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and sanding sugar on top. Starting from a short end, tightly roll up the dough, using the parchment to help; roll the log in sanding sugar. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Slice the log crosswise 1/4 inch thick; arrange the slices about 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until slightly puffed and lightly golden on the bottom, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool.

On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a 12x9-in. rectangle. Brush with egg white; sprinkle each with half of the walnut mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight., Preheat oven to 350 °. Unwrap and cut dough crosswise into 1/4-in. slices. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
