Icebox Pinwheel Cookies

It took us two days to do the Icebox Pinwheel Cookies. The cookies are also called "Icebox Cookies" because you refrigerate them. The best thing about refrigerated cookies is that you can chill them in the fridge for a few days or even store them in the freezer and bake them for surprise visitors.
On the first day we made the dough for the cookies in the unit. After creaming the butter we added the sugar and kept on mixing until the mixture became fluffy. Before we added the liquid ingredients to the dry, we mixed them all together. We had to divide the dough in two because we paired up to do the next steps. So we divided our dough once again in two and added melted chocolate to one of them. After kneading the chocolate dough until the whole chocolate is spread evenly through the dough we formed them into a square and chilled them both in the fridge for twenty minutes. Then we rolled out the dough into five millimetres thick squares. We put the vanilla dough on top of the chocolate dough and pressed them gently together with the rolling pin. Make sure you cover the dough on both sides with parchment paper every time you use the pinwheel, to prevent the dough from sticking to anything! Then we started to roll the pinwheel so in the end it looks like a spiral. Take your time because it is a very important step and if you do a great job the cookies will look awesome! We wrapped the pinwheel roll in plastic wrap and stored it in the fridge for a whole day.

The next day we took out the vanilla-chocolate roll and cut it in twenty two wheels.Remember we used half of the dough! We preheated the oven to 350 Fahrenheit
(175 °C) and as soon as it was ready we put in the small wheels for fifteen minutes. The cookies are done when the bottom is golden brown, but not the top!

Our cookies looked really nice and tasted good but I wished to have a stronger chocolate flavour. So next time I will add more chocolate. Because I love chocolate I also plan to cover them with melted chocolate or add crushed chocolate chips.
