How to Make Black And White Pinwheels Refrigerator

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg yolk, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the dough in half.
  6. To one half, add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed.
  7. Place each dough half between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll each into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
  8. Carefully peel off the top sheet of parchment paper from one rectangle (either the plain or chocolate). Place the other rectangle on top, creating a layered effect.
  9. Gently roll the dough together like a jelly roll, starting from one of the longer sides. Remove the remaining parchment paper.
  10. Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 weeks (or freeze for several months).
  11. Once chilled, slice the dough into 1/8-inch thick slices.
  12. Place slices onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  13. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
  14. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
