Red, White and Blue Pinwheel Icebox Cookies

3:45 AM

Red, White and Blue Pinwheel Icebox Cookies. There's been a whole lot of red, white and blue happening around these parts lately. And now that the Fourth of July is just two weeks away, I'm serving up one final festive dessert to add to your patriotic party, Pinwheel Icebox Cookies. If soft and chewy cookies set off flavor fireworks in your world, then consider your taste buds dazzled. These buttery rounds are made with basic pantry ingredients (think butter, sugar, eggs and flour). And best of all, the dough can be prepared in advance and stashed in the fridge, so all that's left to do is slice and bake them as your guests arrive. This recipe fell under my “This Is An Experiment But Please Let It Work” category, so I was holding my breath as I made the first slice into the cookie dough log. But the second that perfect pinwheel emerged, I did a little dance. (See: Tip #5 in 10 Things I Learned About Writing a Book.) And by “little dance,” I mean I shook and I shuffled and I popped and I Dougie'd and I did whatever else the kids do these days. Long story short: Pinwheel icebox cookie success is something to celebrate. So crank up that music, preheat your oven, and slice and bake your way to the ultimate Independence Day dessert.
