Tips:

Fresh Dough: For the best results, use fresh puff pastry dough. This will ensure that your pinwheels are light and flaky.
Temperature: Make sure the butter is cold and the dough is chilled before you start rolling it out. This will help prevent the butter from melting and making the dough too greasy.
Even Rolling: Roll out the dough evenly to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. This will help ensure that the pinwheels are cooked evenly.
Generous Filling: Don't be afraid to be generous with the cinnamon sugar filling. This is what gives the pinwheels their delicious flavor.
Tight Rolling: Roll the dough up tightly to create a spiral. This will help keep the filling inside the pinwheels.
Chilling: After rolling the pinwheels, chill them for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
Egg Wash: Before baking, brush the pinwheels with an egg wash. This will give them a golden brown color and help them stay moist.
Baking: Bake the pinwheels in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and puffed up. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
Serving: Serve the pinwheels warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon sugar pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their flaky crust and sweet cinnamon sugar filling, they are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these cinnamon sugar pinwheels a try. You won't be disappointed!
