CRANBERRY-WALNUT PINWHEELS
To make the filling:
In a food processor (or blender) after grinding the walnuts, add the 2 tablespoons of softened butter and process until the mixture is smooth and of spreading consistency, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. To make the dough:
Divide the dough in half. Place in half between two sheets of waxed paper and using a rolling pin, roll each half into a rectangle about 16 x 12 inches. Spread half the filling mixture over each rectangle. Starting at a short side, roll rectangles up jelly-roll style. Remove the waxed paper as you roll. Moisten the edges and pinch together to seal filling inside. Wrap each roll securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours but up to 2 days. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the rolls into slices 1/4-inch thick. Place cookies on lightly greased cookie sheets about 2-inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or till the edges are firm and the bottoms are just lightly browned. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 96 (8 dozen) cookies Enjoy! |
