Sugar cookies can be tricky. It’s seems they’re either pretty OR tasty…rarely are they both at the same time. These pinwheels, however, are not only vibrant, fun, and easy to customize for any holiday, but they are really good too! My kids keep telling me they are the best cookies ever!
We had a ball making these cookies. My kids are pretty much always in the kitchen with me, and I love it! Well, I had rolled out the cookie dough into rectangles, and trimmed around the edges to get nice straight lines before rolling it into a spiral.
My kids quickly scooped up the scraps and had a blast playing with this mint “play dough”. They thought it was the coolest thing, haha! Kept them busy for awhile 🙂
These cookies take a few steps, but they are actually really easy to make. The pretty swirl of colors in the cookies makes them look so impressive. I am definitely making more in different fun colors for parties for the kids.
These cookies are soft, not too sweet, and have the perfect amount of chocolate and mint! You could totally change out the mint for other flavors too. I already have a few varieties in the works for spring! It’s such a fun dough to play around with. Hope you enjoy!

Oh my gosh, how stinking cute are these pinwheel cookies? I’m in love with these. Perfect for St Patrick’s Day, or any day quite frankly. You really knocked these out of the park. I’m not as adept with rolled dough. Mine never look this perfect.

Wow these look darling. I don’t know if I would be able to do this method. Maybe I can try with my kids 🙂

Kids in the kitchen… now that’s the way to teach ’em!! 🙂 I try to get mine in there, too, and it’s all good and fun until they find the sprinkles… you know whadda mean?! 😉
Now, the cookies. They are so, so amazing!! That perfect pinwheel? I could never make it happen. It will look more like a zig zag pattern!
