These date pinwheels were a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The dough for these date pinwheels was a bit too dry. I had to add some extra water to get it to the right consistency.

These date pinwheels were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've tried several different date pinwheel recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dough is flaky and the filling is flavorful.
