Tips

  • You can easily turn these pinwheel cookies into a yummy strudel. After rolling like a jelly roll, brush with a lightly beaten egg. Bake at 375 degrees F for 35 minutes, until golden. Cool for 30 minutes, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and slice into 8 thick pieces.
  • This recipe was adapted from one given to me by champion baker Rebbetzin Heller. I consider it a mark of her infinite kindness that she shared her trade secrets with a novice like me. She taught me about ingredients like liquid marble. Just look for it in the supermarket baking section with the other chocolate products. Now I give people the recipe and say, quite matter-of-factly, "and of course, you use liquid marble," as though it's something I've known about my entire life.
