How to Make Vintage Pinwheel

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the dough in half. Spread half the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a 12x10 inch rectangle.
  6. Spread half of the jam evenly over the dough rectangle.
  7. Carefully roll the dough tightly from one of the long sides into a log.
  8. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Repeat steps 5-7 with the remaining dough and jam.
  10. Once chilled, slice each log into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
  11. Place the pinwheels onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
