How to Make Jiffy Pinwheel Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. **Prepare White Batter:** In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) Jiffy White Cake Mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 2 large eggs, and 1/4 cup milk. Mix until well combined.
  3. Refrigerate white batter for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up.
  4. **Prepare Chocolate Batter:** In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  5. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, to the chocolate batter and mix until well combined.
  6. Refrigerate chocolate batter for at least 1 hour.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled white batter into an 8x10 inch rectangle.
  8. Spread the chilled chocolate batter evenly over the white batter.
  9. Tightly roll up the dough like a jelly roll, starting from a long side.
  10. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes (this helps with clean slicing).
  11. Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  12. Place the slices onto prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  13. Bake for 12-15 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.
