Description

Turn heads at your next Halloween bash with these mesmerizing pinwheel cookies! With bold black and orange swirls, they’re as fun to make as they are to eat. No frosting, no fuss—just slice, bake, and wow your crowd with every spooky spiral.


Ingredients

Scale

1 batch sugar cookie dough, divided in half

Black food coloring or cocoa powder

Orange food coloring

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor boost)

Parchment paper or plastic wrap


Instructions

Divide dough into two equal parts.

Color one half with orange food coloring, and the other with black (or mix in cocoa).

Roll each dough into a rectangle (~¼ inch thick) between parchment sheets.

Stack black dough on top of orange and gently press together.

Roll tightly into a log starting from the short side to form a spiral.

Wrap the log in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Slice chilled log into ¼-inch rounds and place on a lined baking sheet.

Bake 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set.

Cool on a wire rack.
