Peppermint Patty Pinwheels Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Snufflebunny15 / All my dishes 1 year, 12 months ago A better cookie than the storebought dough with food coloring that I made into candy cane shapes last year. Flavor is much better and as long as you chill the dough, the cookies can look like a pretty pinwheel. I like the extra sugary glze but some... More Prep:150m Cook:30m Servings:18	Snufflebunn

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar

1 egg

2 1/2 cups sifted flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 teaspoon red food coloring

1/4 cup each finely crushed peppermint-stick candy and sugar

Directions

Mix butter, sugar, egg and flavorings.

Mix flour and salt, and blend in thoroughly.

Divide dough in half.

Blend food coloring into one half, and chill both halves until firm.

On lightly floured cloth-covered board, roll the plain half into a 12-inch square.

Roll the red half the same size and lay on top of the plain dough. Roll the double-layered dough gently until about 1/4 inch thick. Roll up like a jelly roll and chill one hour.

Must chill til firm or it will be too soft to cut and you'll have funny shaped cookies, trust me, they were amorphous blobs, not pretty.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Slice cookies 1/4 inch thick.

Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake 9 minutes, or until lightly browned.

I used a rolling pin to crush the peppermint candy, it was very fun!

While still warm, (IMPORTANT) brush with egg-white glaze (1 egg white combined with 2 tablespoons water) and sprinkle with peppermint candy and sugar. Use the pastuerized egg whites sold in pints, just use about one eigth of a cup.

Makes about 3 dozen.
