How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Pinwheels
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients on low speed. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the remaining dry ingredients by hand until a stiff dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Melt 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter together in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Let cool completely.
- Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into an 8x10 inch rectangle.
- Spread half of the cooled chocolate filling evenly over each rectangle.
- Starting from the long side, tightly roll each rectangle into a log, like a jelly roll.
- Gently press the edges to seal.
- Wrap each log separately in plastic wrap or foil, seam side down.
- Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- Once chilled, slice each log into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
- Place pinwheels 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Pinwheels! Makes approximately 40 cookies.
