Tips:

  • Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them mix together smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and make it easier to work with.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into even strips. This will help ensure that your pinwheels bake evenly.
  • Bake the pinwheels until they are golden brown on the edges. Overbaking will dry out the cookies.
  • Let the pinwheels cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
