HERBED CHEVRE, CRAISIN AND WALNUT PINWHEELS
These festive pinwheel appetizers are perfect for the holidays, or anytime! Very popular with my family and guests---everyone really loves the great flavor combo of tangy chèvre cheese (or feta), sweet-tart cranberries, green onions, walnuts (or pistachios), and herbs. Easily made in advance, and I have frozen the logs (before slicing) with great results. Note: If you can't find chevre cheese, crumbled feta is equally good.

Tips:
- To make the dough easier to work with, chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, sprinkle it with a little more flour.
- Be sure to spread the filling evenly over the dough, so that each pinwheel has a good amount of filling.
- When rolling up the pinwheels, start from one long side and roll tightly, so that the filling doesn't leak out.
- After baking, let the pinwheels cool completely before slicing them, so that they hold their shape.
