Take a look at these ingredient tips as you gather what you&rsquo;ll need. (<em>Links are affiliate links and I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Flour:<\/span><\/strong> For the base of the dough, use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45cBAIa\" data-eafl-id=\"61636\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">all-purpose flour<\/a>. Make sure to measure the flour correctly so that the dough doesn&rsquo;t become overly dense. If possible, I highly recommend using a kitchen scale. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Baking powder:<\/span><\/strong> Helps the cookies rise and gives them chewy texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Unsalted butter and salt:<\/span><\/strong> To prevent overmixing, use softened room temperature butter. It will be so much easier to mix into the other ingredients. I like to use unsalted butter and a little bit of salt, but if you only have salted butter, just leave out the additional salt. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Sugar:<\/span><\/strong> As with the flour, it&rsquo;s important to measure the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EaTSyS\" data-eafl-id=\"53301\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">granulated sugar<\/a> properly. Using a kitchen scale will give you the most accurate measurements. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Egg:<\/span><\/strong> Use a large, room temperature egg (not medium or extra large). It&rsquo;ll need about 30 minutes on to warm up on the counter before getting started.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Peppermint extract:<\/span><\/strong> For the best flavor, use a high quality extract. I love LorAnn&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FtS1q0\" data-eafl-id=\"71826\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">peppermint extract<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Gel food coloring:<\/span><\/strong> If you want vibrant colored dough, use gel food coloring. You&rsquo;ll only need a little product to make beautiful shades. I like <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3tEiDRB\" data-eafl-id=\"59405\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Americolor gel food coloring<\/a>, and I used <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XQwWNb\" data-eafl-id=\"52454\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Super Red<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3TURQdm\" data-eafl-id=\"68272\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Electric Pink<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Sprinkles:<\/span><\/strong> The sprinkles are totally optional but totally fun!

They will continue to cook for a few minutes after they&rsquo;re out of the oven, so don&rsquo;t wait until they feel firm in the center or they will be overcooked. The perfect pinwheel cookie is crunchy around the edges and soft and tender on the inside!<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-71808-step-0-14\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Once cool, remove from the baking sheets and enjoy!

This includes making sure your ingredients are the right temperature, that you&rsquo;re using the right equipment, and that you&rsquo;re paying attention to mixing and baking times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t overmix the dough.<\/strong> A common mistake when making cookies is overmixing the dough. If you continue mixing after the ingredients are combined, the gluten in the flour will become over-actived, and you&rsquo;ll end up with tough, dense cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Measure with precision.<\/strong>&nbsp;Either use a kitchen scale (the best!), or be attentive when using measuring cups and spoons, especially when it comes to flour. Measure your flour by spooning flour into your measuring cup, then use the back of a knife to level off the top of the cup. This method is better and more precise than just dipping your measuring cup in the flour bin to fill it. When you dip your cup in to fill it, the flour gets compacted and you end up with more flour per cup than the recipe calls for. More flour = dry cookies that don&rsquo;t spread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cream the butter and sugar.<\/strong>&nbsp;There&rsquo;s more to creaming butter and sugar than simply mixing them together. It will take about 2-3 minutes to fully cream the mixture. You&rsquo;re looking for visible changes in color and texture; the color should be lighter and the texture should look fluffy. Under-creaming = cookies that don&rsquo;t spread and have a coarse texture. Over-creaming = cookies that are too flat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use the right baking surface.&nbsp;<\/strong>To bake the cookies, line an<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3j5GCUJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;aluminum, light-colored, non-insulated baking sheet<\/a> with parchment paper. Don&rsquo;t grease the parchment or pan, and don&rsquo;t use insulated baking sheets or dark-colored baking sheets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"%f0%9f%92%a1troubleshooting-faqs\">&#128161;Troubleshooting FAQS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697241847432\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">My cookies are too flat<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If your cookies spread too much and are too flat, the most common reasons are:<br><br>&ndash; the butter and sugar were creamed together for too long<br>&ndash; your baking soda is old and not as effective<br>&ndash; not enough flour was used<br>&ndash; insulated baking sheet was used<br>&ndash; oven runs cool (temperature not high enough)<br><br>Check my&nbsp;equipment recommendations&nbsp;and&nbsp;puffy cookie tips, and also consider chilling the dough before baking for extra insurance.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697241850529\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">My cookies Didn&rsquo;t Spread at all<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If your cookies didn&rsquo;t spread after baking, or have a lumpy or coarse texture, the most common reasons are:<br><br>&ndash; the butter was too cold<br>&ndash; the butter and sugar weren&rsquo;t creamed together for long enough<br>&ndash; too much flour was used<br>&ndash; dark baking sheet was used<br>&ndash; oven was too hot<br><br>It is important that any refrigerated ingredients be at room temperature before beginning, and that you cream the butter and sugar together for several minutes, until light and fluffy. Under-creaming the butter\/sugar can result in a coarse cookie that doesn&rsquo;t spread properly, and ingredients cream together easier when they are not cold.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1733963549629\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Make-Ahead and Storage Information<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Make-ahead:<\/strong> If you want to make the dough in advance, you have a few options. You can freeze the whole rolled cookie log, wrapped well, for up to 3 months. I recommend letting it defrost in the refrigerator overnight, then adding the sprinkle layer, slicing, and baking as directed.<br><br>You can also freeze individual unbaked cookie slices. I don&rsquo;t recommend adding sprinkles if you are planning on freezing unbaked cookies, since many sprinkles will bleed color due to condensation. Freeze the sliced cookies in single layers in an airtight container or freezer zip-top bags for up to 3 months. To bake, let the frozen cookies sit at room temperature while the oven preheats, then add a few extra minutes to the baking time to make sure they&rsquo;re baked all the way through.<br><br><strong>Storage:<\/strong> Pinwheel cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature and should be enjoyed within 4-5 days for maximum freshness. Or, you can freeze baked cookies to eat later. Make sure to wrap them tightly and place them in a freezer safe container\/storage bag to prevent freezer burn. For the best taste, thaw at room temperature, and enjoy the cookies within 3 months of their freeze date.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-quick-links cwp-large

I don\u2019t recommend adding sprinkles if you are planning on freezing unbaked cookies, since many sprinkles will bleed color due to condensation. Freeze the sliced cookies in single layers in an airtight container or freezer zip-top bags for up to 3 months. To bake, let the frozen cookies sit at room temperature while the oven preheats, then add a few extra minutes to the baking time to make sure they\u2019re baked all the way through.<br\\\/><br\\\/><strong>Storage:<\\\/strong> Pinwheel cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature and should be enjoyed within 4-5 days for maximum freshness. Or, you can freeze baked cookies to eat later. Make sure to wrap them tightly and place them in a freezer safe container\\\/storage bag to prevent freezer burn. For the best taste, thaw at room temperature, and enjoy the cookies within 3 months of their freeze date.\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Peppermint Pinwheel Cookies -

Under-creaming the butter\/sugar can result in a coarse cookie that doesn\u2019t spread properly, and ingredients cream together easier when they are not cold.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/peppermint-pinwheel-cookies\/#faq-question-1733963549629","position":3,"url":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/peppermint-pinwheel-cookies\/#faq-question-1733963549629","name":"Make-Ahead and Storage Information","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"<strong>Make-ahead:<\/strong> If you want to make the dough in advance, you have a few options. You can freeze the whole rolled cookie log, wrapped well, for up to 3 months. I recommend letting it defrost in the refrigerator overnight, then adding the sprinkle layer, slicing, and baking as directed.<br\/><br\/>You can also freeze individual unbaked cookie slices. I don\u2019t recommend adding sprinkles if you are planning on freezing unbaked cookies, since many sprinkles will bleed color due to condensation. Freeze the sliced cookies in single layers in an airtight container or freezer zip-top bags for up to 3 months. To bake, let the frozen cookies sit at room temperature while the oven preheats, then add a few extra minutes to the baking time to make sure they\u2019re baked all the way through.<br\/><br\/><strong>Storage:<\/strong> Pinwheel cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature and should be enjoyed within 4-5 days for maximum freshness. Or, you can freeze baked cookies to eat later. Make sure to wrap them tightly and place them in a freezer safe container\/storage bag to prevent freezer burn. For the best taste, thaw at room temperature, and enjoy the cookies within 3 months of their freeze date.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49870"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49870\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77165,"href":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49870\/revisions\/77165"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49870"},{"taxonomy":"table_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/table_tags?post=49870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
