PINWHEEL COOKIE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Divide the dough in half and add chocolate and vanilla to 1 half and incorporate with hands. Add egg yolk, peppermint extract, and crushed candy to other half of dough and incorporate with hands. Cover both with plastic and chill for approximately 5 minutes. Roll out doughs separately to approximately 1/4-inch thickness. Place peppermint dough on top of chocolate and press together around the edges. Using waxed paper or flexible cutting board underneath, roll dough into log. Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Remove dough from the refrigerator and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place cookies 1-inch apart on greased baking sheet, parchment, or silicone baking mat and bake for 12 to 13 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking time. Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Line rimmed cookie sheet with waxed paper. Using sharp knife, divide cookie dough roll into 8 portions. Working with one portion at a time, roll and press dough to shape into 12-inch rope; cut crosswise into 24 (1/2-inch) pieces, and shape into balls. If dough breaks apart, press together and continue to roll. Place balls on cookie sheet. Repeat rolling, cutting and shaping with remaining dough. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Remove cookie sheet from refrigerator; reserve 1/2 cup of the balls. In large bowl, mix softened ice cream and remaining balls; stir to combine. Spread ice cream mixture in 2- to 3-quart rectangular dish. Sprinkle reserved balls and chocolate chips over top. Cover and freeze about 6 hours or until firm.
