Katie's Pinwheel Cookies
Recipe courtesy Gale Gand

Ingredients
3/4 cup butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 egg, separated
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
30 wooden popsticks
1 cup colored sugar, one or several colors
30 candy coated chocolate candies

Directions
With a paddle attachment, beat butter, cream cheese, and egg yolk until
smooth. Stir in flour and baking powder. Mix until stiff dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and
refrigerate for 1 hour. Lightly beat egg white and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

On lightly floured surface, roll dough, 1/2 at a time, into a 15 by 9-inch rectangle. With sharp
knife, cut dough into 3-inch squares. Place 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Brush with
egg white.

Lightly press about 1 1/2 inches of wooden stick into bottom center of each dough square. With sharp
knife, cut the dough diagonally from each corner to within 1/2-inch of center of each square.
Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon colored sugar over each square. Fold alternate corners of the square to
the center to form pinwheel, overlapping the dough at the center pushing down gently to seal in
center.

Press one candy coated chocolate in center of each pinwheel.

Bake until set, about 9 to 12 minutes. Using spatula, immediately remove from cookie sheets.
