PB&J Pinwheel Cookies Recipe

Prep time: 5 minutes
Bake time: 8 to 10 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 1 pre-rolled pie crust dough (refrigerated )
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1/4 cup jelly or jam (your favorite flavor)

Supplies

Rimmed baking sheet
Silicone baking mat or parchment paper
Wire rack

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. Carefully unroll the pre-rolled pie crust dough onto a clean, flat surface.
  3. Spread the peanut butter evenly over the pie crust, leaving a small, uncovered edge along one of the long sides. This helps to seal the roll.
  4. Carefully spread the jelly or jam in a stripe down the center of the peanut butter layer, running along the long edge of the crust. Be careful to not overfill, or it will run out the sides.
  5. Starting from the long edge opposite the uncovered edge, tightly roll the pie crust into a log, similar to a jelly roll. 
  6. Using a knife, slice the log into rounds about ½ inch thick. Try to cut evenly, so the cookies bake uniformly.
  7. Place the pinwheel slices onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper, leaving a little space between each cookie. This prevents them from sticking together as they bake.
  8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on the cookies, as bake times may vary.
  9. Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  10. Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container for later.
