1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

Tips:

  • For a smoother dough, use cold butter and cream cheese.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking and tearing.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
  • Don't overwork the dough, or it will become tough.
  • Bake the pinwheels until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the pinwheels cool completely before slicing them.
  • For a more intense mint flavor, use peppermint extract instead of vanilla extract.
  • For a chocolatey twist, add some chocolate chips to the dough.
  • For a festive touch, sprinkle some sanding sugar on the pinwheels before baking.

Conclusion:

Chocolate mint pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat to enjoy, give these chocolate mint pinwheels a try. You won't be disappointed!
