Chocolate Cherry Pistachio Pinwheels


I made a bunch of these for Christmas 2005, thinking I would send them to all my relatives as gifts. (There was a picture in Woman's Day with littls stacks of pinwheels tied with ribbon...) But I was baking them on Christmas Day. You kind of lose your enthusiasm for sending out Christmas gifts come December 26. Especially when only about a dozen of the cookies actually looked gift-worthy. (A lot were cracked and broken from the dough not being very pliable when it was rolled together.)


This is a photo of the second attempt at the pinwheels. It was also the first time Scrappy had ever used a rolling pin. Not that helping roll them out made her any more enthusiastic about eating a cookie that didn't have chocolate chips in it. I thought they were tasty enough to make in March, though.
