Steps:
- Mix cream cheese and garlic salt together until well blended. Spread evenly on tops of tortillas.
- In small bowl, stir together cranberries and onions. Sprinkle evenly over cream cheese spread. Lightly press cranberry/onion mix into cream cheese.
- Roll up tortilla. Trim off ends. And cut each tortilla into 10 even pieces using a serated knife, like you would slice bread.
Tips:
- Prep the dough in advance: To save time, make the crescent dough ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even cuts when slicing the dough and the filling.
- Don't overfill the pinwheels: Too much filling will make the pinwheels difficult to roll and may cause them to burst open during baking.
- Bake until golden brown: The pinwheels are done baking when they are golden brown on the edges and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the pinwheels cool before slicing: This will help them hold their shape and prevent the filling from oozing out.
