Pinwheel Cookies Recipe
•Prep time: 30minutes
•Bake time: 15minutes
•Total time: 45minutes
Step 2: Divide the Mixture in step 2 above into two. In one part, add the vanilla flavor Essence, mix thoroughly, then 1 cup of flour and mix into a Semi-stiff dough. The dough is perfect if it doesn’t stick to the sides of the bowl. In the other part, Add the cocoa powder and butterscotch flavor Essence, Mix thoroughly, then fold in the flour to make a Semi-stiff dough just like the first part.
Step 3: Place Each dough in separate plastic sample bags like in the pictures and roll out. You can also use waxed paper for this but i found the sample bags more convenient because it gives me the perfect rectangular shape i need.
Step 4: Once rolled out Individually, tear open the sides of the plastic sample bags with a knife and place the rolled out chocolate colored dough on top of the plain dough making sure they are perfectly aligned on all sides. Lightly press the dough on top so it’d adhere with the one at the bottom.
Step 5: From the shorter side of the rectangle, Gently roll the dough into a log, Wrap in the last sample bag and chill in a refrigerator for about an hour.
Step 6: After the hour is up, take the log out of the refrigerator and slice to about ¼ thickness with a sharp knife.
Step 7: Place the sliced pinwheel dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a pre-heated oven for about 15-20mins.
Step 8: Remove the cookies from the sheet and place on a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.

Nice,this isn't fair na! It's too late.to start baking
Yummy. Going to make it
this is so amazingg…. will be giving it a try for valentine
Looks good. ♏v̶̲̥̅ son would like this. Please can old newspapers b used as parchment paper? Can I̶̲̥̅̊ use ɑ̤̥̈̊ microwave for this?
lol! its not too late to try it out.
you'd luv it! do let us know how it goes.
i wouldn't advise you to use old newspaper to line the baking sheet cos it's not healthy especially since it's got printing ink on it. Other substitutes for parchment paper include; Using Aluminium foil as a liner, greasing the baking sheet with butter. This is to ensure it doesn't stick to the sheet.
Honestly, i've tried using a microwave sometime ago to bake but the result i got wasn't close to baking in a real Oven.
Do keep me posted 😉

Wow, where can i get the plastic sample bag and how do i place the dough on it. Am trying dis next week end. Yipee!
Hmmmmm, this looks yummy, something my girlds w'd really love. Thanks Dobby and Happy New Year.
Hw do u now remove d tough frm d plastic bag b4 placing them on each other
hi dynma,
you can get the plastic sample bags from large supermarkets. The most common type you can find is the Zippo/Zipploc plastic bag. All you have to do is, tear open the sides of the plastic sample bags with a knife and place the first dough on the second dough.
hi bhee,
To remove the dough, you'd have to tear open the sides of the plastic sample bags with a sharp knife or scissors.
Happy new year Aunty eya!! 🙂
Wow dis is lovely tanks but must it be pit in the fridge before baking?
Hi Ishioma,
yes it's compulsory to put it in the fridge before baking. This is done so it'd firm up thereby making it easier to cut. If you don't refrigerate, you'd end up with wrinkled pinwheel cookies.
Yummy yummy! Can't wait to try my hands on this. Pls Dobby any substitute for the plastic sample bag?
Hello lucy,
if you don't have plastic sample bag, you can use waxed paper. i rarely see those around in Nigeria though.
Looks so delicious…Please Dobbyx I wanna confirm the sugar and butter part…if the batter is beaten to fluffy, will it still be moulded to a dough and also is the milk liquid or powdered?….Thanks so much
yes it would still be molded . you could use either liquid or powdered milk. if you intend using powdered milk, dissolve it first in water (not too much) before adding.
Dobby, the cookies look amazing, I've decided to make it tomorrow, but I'll use vanilla and strawberry. Love your site though I hardly comment. (•_•)

Hello dobby. Can I use milo for the cocoa powder, since I can't get my hands on the real thing. Thank you.
Hi Holly, Yes you can although it would taste like milo and it wouldn't be this dark.
