Apple Butter Pinwheel Cookies Ingredients: 1/2C unsalted butter, softened 3/4C granulated sugar 1 egg 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 1/2C all purpose flour 2/3C cinnamon apple butter Directions: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in egg, followed by salt, baking powder and cinnamon. Finally mix in flour, until no streaks remain. Cover and chill dough 1-4 hours or until thoroughly chilled. Play dough between two sheets of wax paper. Roll out dough into a large rectangle, to roughly 1/4-inch thick. Spread apple butter in a thin layer over prepared dough, leaving 1/2-inch space around the edges. *If necessary, chill dough 30-60 more minutes if dough is too soft to roll. Roll dough rightly, pinching edges to seal. Wrap in a new sheet of wax paper. Chill 24 hours. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Slice cookies 1/4-inch thick, spacing 2-inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Transfer cookie sheet to freezer for 5-10 minutes. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are just golden. Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. *Rolled dough may be stored within two large straight sided glasses to keep its rounded shape. Alternately rotate dough log occasionally in fridge. *Dough is soft, chill as needed.
