Cookies... Pinwheel Cookes... Chocolate Pinwheels and Peanut Butter Pinwheels...

There's no cookies left in the cookie jar...
So, someone has to make some cookies right?


I've decided to make some pinwheel cookies for Luke and Monique, so they can bring to school / kinder as snacks, but of course, they can't have nuts in their lunch / snack boxes, so I went with the chocolate version for luke:


Chocolate Pinwheel Cookies:
250g plain flour
180g unsalted butter.
100g white sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon powder
30g cocoa powder
20g dark chocolate chips


Method:
Cream softened butter with white sugar.
Add in flour and mix well, add in lightly beat egg.
Divide cookie dough in 2 halves.
Add brown sugar, cinnamon powder, cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips to one half.
Roll out both on marble slab into rectangular shapes, same shape.
Put the chocolate sheet on top of the plain sheet, and roll into a log.
Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes for easier cutting, cut into 0.8 cms slices and place on lined cookie sheets.


Bake in 190C oven for 10-15 minutes or until ready.






And Dad loved them as well, so I made some for dad, but since he loves peanut, I made the peanut butter pinwheel cookies for him:


Peanut Butter Pinwheel Cookies:
250g plain flour
150g unsalted butter
30g peanut oil
100g white sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp peanut butter


Method:

Add in flour and peanut oiland mix well, add in lightly beat egg.
Divide cookie dough in 2 halves.
Add brown sugar, peanut butter to one half.
Roll out both on marble slab into rectangular shapes, same shape.
Put the peanut butter sheet on top of the plain sheet, and roll into a log.
Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes for easier cutting, cut into 0.8 cms slices and place on lined cookie sheets.

Bake in 190C oven for 10-15 minutes or until ready.
