Date & Nut Pinwheel Cookies
PRINT the recipe:
Even though Iowa's not getting the impending snowstorm that the East Coast (of the US) it's the thought of snow that just makes me want to bake more cookies! ???? These are an old-time favorite: a sweet date mixture is spread onto a slightly sweet dough and rolled into a beautiful pinwheel cookie. Fun, festive, and delicious! Merry baking! ????

INGREDIENTS
For the filling:
- 1/2 lb pitted dates
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup chopped, toasted walnuts
For the cookies:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1 egg
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
INSTRUCTIONS
Chop the pitted dates into small pieces. Put dates in a saucepan along with the water, maple syrup, orange zest, and orange juice. Lightly boil for five minutes until the mixture is thick. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. Once cool, stir in chopped walnuts.
In a mixer, combine the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Mix on medium until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
Add one egg and mix to combine, 1 minute.
To the mixer, add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix until no dry streaks remain, 1-2 minutes. Put pastry dough in the refrigerator and chill slightly, minimum 1 hour.
Roll out dough on floured parchment paper to a roughly 12×14-inch rectangle.
Spoon the cooked and cooled date mixture on top of the dough. Spread evenly to all edges.
Use the parchment paper to slowly lift the dough and date mixture, rolling it like a jelly roll. Once rolled, place in the refrigerator until well chilled, 4-6 hours (or overnight).
Cut chilled dough into ¼-inch pieces with a sharp knife and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes at 375°F until golden.

Date Pinwheel Cookies | 12 Days of Treatsmas | Day 12
We made it! Today’s treat is our final one of The 12 Days of Treatsmas! Let’s bake my favorite Christmas cookie: Date Pinwheels. These are like a sugar cookie filled with a sweet, gooey jam filling. I know dates may seem a bit weird at first, but I promise you, they taste great in these cookies! All the sugar may help with that…

_______________________________________________
Date Jam
8 oz Dates, finely chopped
¾ cup Sugar
¾ cup Water
Cookie
½ cup Butter, softened
1 ½ cups Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
3 ½ cups Flour
½ tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Cream of Tartar
Directions
1. Start by making the jam: add all jam ingredients to a small/medium sized pot. Place pot on stove and cook over medium/high heat, bringing to a boil. Be sure to stir frequently so jam doesn’t burn. Cook for 5-8 minutes, or until thickened. Set aside to cool to room temperature, or chill in refrigerator.
2. While jam cools, make the cookie dough. Grab a large bowl and cream together butter and brown sugar with a whisk or electric mixer.
3. Mix in eggs and vanilla and blend until fully combined.
4. Add salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar and mix until well combined.
5. Now mix in flour, one cup at a time, blending between each addition. It will be a dryer dough than your typical cookie dough.
6. Place a large sheet of parchment or wax paper on the counter and dump dough on top. Flatten and shape dough into a rectangle. If dough isn’t sticking to itself, add 1 tablespoon of water to dough and fold/mix in.
7. With a rolling pin, roll your dough into a large rectangle until ¼ inch thick. Size of rectangle isn’t too important, just needs to be ¼ inch thick and in the shape of a rectangle. My dough was about 12 inches by 18 inches when rolled out. You can place a piece of parchment or wax paper on top if dough is sticking to rolling pin.
8. Once dough is rolled out, grab your cooled jam and spread over dough. Leave about ¼ inch of space from the edges of dough, as the jam will spread as we roll the dough into a log.
9. Roll the dough into a log, starting with the edge closest to you and roll the dough over itself and away from you. Try and keep the roll tight as possible, so there are few gaps or air bubbles in the swirl you’re making. Think of the swirl in a cinnamon roll for reference.
10. Once you formed your log, gently pat/ pinch the edges of the dough to seal. Wrap up in the parchment/wax paper you just used. Tightly wrap that in plastic wrap, taping the ends of the plastic wrap so it doesn’t unwrap. This prevents the dough from drying out.
11. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours to overnight, or the freezer for 1 hour.
12. Once the dough is chilled, pre-heat oven to 350°F.
13. Unwrap your dough and slice into ¼ inch thick pieces with a sharp knife. It’s okay if they aren’t perfectly round.
14. Place sliced cookies onto a parchment paper or silicone mat lined cookie sheet. Space at least 2 inches apart, leaving room for the cookies to spread.
15. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
16. Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container.
