Pinwheels
Makes
about
2 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 batch of
sugar cookie dough or your favorite sugar
cookie recipe
2 tbsp
all-purpose flour
1/4 cup orange
marmalade
Confectioner's
sugar for dusting
Directions:
Preheat oven to
350 degrees. In medium bowl, work together cookie dough and flour
with wooden spoon until well blended. Place dough mixture on large
sheet of plastic wrap. Place another sheet of plastic wrap on top
and roll dough into an 1/8 inch thick layer, pulling out any wrinkles that
develop as you roll. Refrigerate about 10 minutes, or until firm.
Remove dough
from refrigerator, peel off top sheet of plastic wrap, and flip dough over
onto lightly floured work surface. Remove remaining wrap. With
a 2 1/2 inch round cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place rounds 1 inch
apart on un-greased cookie sheets. Gather scraps and repeat rolling,
chilling and cutting.
For each circle,
cut four lines from edge almost to the center, nearly quartering the
cookie. Fold left corner of each section to center, forming a
pinwheel shape. Fill center with about 1/2 tsp marmalade.
Bake 8 to 10
minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool briefly on cookie sheets to
firm up. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Dust
lightly with confectioners' sugar. Store in airtight container at
room temperature up to one week or in freezer up to six months.
