Recipe: Chocolate Pinwheels (cookies)

Chocolate Pinwheels

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon 1% milk
1 (1-ounce) square unsweetened chocolate, melted

In small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg and milk; beat until well mixed. Add the flour mixture and stir to form a dough.

Divide dough in half. Add the melted chocolate to one half of the dough and mix together until thoroughly combined.

Roll each piece of dough on wax paper into a 12x9-inch rectangle. Place the chocolate dough on top of the plain dough. Remove wax paper from chocolate dough. Roll up, beginning with 12-inch side. Wrap in wax paper and chill 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Cut roll into 1/4-inch slices. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased or parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake 10 minutes or until slightly browned. Remove from baking sheet; cool on wire rack.
