Steps:
- In large bowl, mix Chocolate Dough ingredients with spoon until soft dough forms. In another large bowl, mix Peanut Butter Dough ingredients with spoon until soft dough forms. Divide each dough in half; set aside.
- Place one half of the chocolate dough between 2 (17x12-inch) sheets of waxed paper or cooking parchment paper; roll out to 12x7-inch rectangle. Repeat with one half of the peanut butter dough; remove top sheet of waxed paper from both doughs. Invert peanut butter dough onto chocolate dough. Replace waxed paper on dough, and gently roll out to 14x8-inch rectangle. Remove top sheet; trim edges. Starting with long side, roll up dough using bottom sheet of waxed paper to help roll up dough. Wrap dough log tightly with waxed paper; twist ends to enclose. Repeat with remaining cookie doughs. Refrigerate 2 hours 30 minutes or until very firm.
- Heat oven to 375°F. Unwrap 1 of the dough logs; cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Repeat with remaining dough log.
- Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes. Store covered in airtight container.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PINWHEELS
This wonderful cookie recipe is one that I am begged to make over the holidays every year! They are out of a really, really old McCall's cookbook that my mother used to use. I took them to work last year, and everyone started calling me Julia Child! They are well worth the effort!

Steps:
- Sift flour with soda and salt.
- Set aside.
- Beat butter until fluffy.
- Beat in sugar.
- Beat in peanut butter, egg, and vanilla.
- At low speed, add half flour mixture.
- Mix in the rest by hand to form a stiff dough.
- Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling (I am told that one can easily melt chocolate chips in a microwave, but I have not tried it. If you know how to do it, have at it!) Melt chocolate over hot (NOT BOILING) water, add butter.
- Cool.
- Divide dough in half.
- Roll each half into a 8x10 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Spread each with half the filling.
- From the long side, roll each rectangle tightly like a jelly roll.
- Gently press edge to seal.
- Wrap separately, seam side down, in saran wrap or foil.
- Refrigerate until firm, about 8 hours or overnight before slicing and baking.
- (They will keep in the fridge for a little over a week.) Preheat oven to 375, and place 1/2 inch slices 1 1/2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Let cool for a few minutes on sheet, then cool on wire rack.
- Makes 40 cookies all together.
Tips:
- Prep the cookie dough in advance: You can make the cookie dough up to 3 days ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. This will make the assembly process much easier.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the cookie dough: This will help to prevent the dough from tearing or sticking to the knife.
- Be sure to evenly distribute the peanut butter and chocolate filling: This will ensure that each pinwheel has a nice balance of flavors.
- Bake the pinwheels for the full amount of time: This will help to ensure that they are cooked through and have a nice golden brown color.
- Let the pinwheels cool completely before slicing them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
