Inspired by Greg's Chocolate Marble Cookies, which he adapted from Martha's Checkerboard Cookies, I once again confirmed my dislike for making cookies.
This dough was kind of crumbly, but I love that they went directly into the refrigerator (instead of the oven) for a bit. That way I can clean up the kitchen before slicing and baking them (am I the only one who makes a huge mess while baking?)
I love the spirals and it's a not-too-sweet cookie, if that's what you're looking for. I think these would be pretty stacked, wrapped in wax paper and tied with a red ribbon to give to a teacher, a neighbor, or in my case... my gardener!
They came out great!
ReplyDeleteI'm on the not-so-much liking to make cookies bandwagon. When I do, I prefer to do bars, or the ones that are just spooned onto the cookie sheet. What I really want to comment on is that mango bread pudding. Oh my it looks delicious AND my husband came home with an entire box of 12 mangoes from Costco on Saturday. They are just about right to make that pudding and I'm going to do just that for our weekend enjoyment. Thanks so much
ReplyDeleteBest,

Oh.. those take me back to when I was a kid. My mom used to make pinwheel cookies all the time. Here's something I just now remembered... she was baking them the day that President Kennedy was shot and we heard it on TV. Strange how things like that come back to you all these years later.
ReplyDeleteoh no...I make a HUGE mess...it's a struggle to find a clean spot on my counters to take pictures (and I have a LOT of counter space!) LOL
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to make these kind of cookies and just never have. Thanks for reminding me :) they look wonderful

ReplyDeleteThey look so pretty. I have yet to try the swirly kind of cookie, but its on my list.
ReplyDeleteThose look awesome! Heh, I also make a huge mess when I bake. I'm not sure how I even use so many bowls...

ReplyDeleteKaren, These cookies look wonderful. So professional. I think you have a cookie talent. Thanks for visiting me so much. Comments are important to all of us. I love your blog.
ReplyDeletePinwheels just remind me of childhood. I used to love making them more than eating them! Yours look great, Karen!
ReplyDeletewe destroy the kithchen every time, and i wish i could blame it on my two year old, but even on my own i manage to dirty up everything.
ReplyDeletethese look great! i bet my daughter would get pretty excited, too.
So cool you made these because I am a cookie novice myself. And a less than sweet cookie is my thing. GREG
