Chewy Date Pinwheels image

Whenever we'd come to see her, my grandma always had cookies for us children. Now, when I make these pinwheels for my own family, I think of her. I've taken Chewy Date Pinwheels to church potlucks and reunions, too, and the response has always been the same-Mmmmm-I need another!" My husband and I have five children, ranging in age from 8 years to 8 months. We have a strawberry patch, and we grow popcorn and lots of other crops besides for sale at a local grocery and roadside market. On my own, I enjoy quilts-I pieced 114 of them last year alone!

Overall, I thought these pinwheels were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These pinwheels were a mess to make. The dates were too sticky and the filling kept falling out.

These pinwheels were a bit dry. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more cream cheese to the filling.

I'm not a fan of dates, but I actually liked these pinwheels. The cream cheese filling helped to balance out the sweetness of the dates.
