Recipe View Assemble the Pinwheels: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the chilled dough into a rectangle (about 9x12 inches).

Recipe View Bake: Slice the chilled rolls into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each cookie. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (Approximately 10-13 minutes)

Recipe View Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (Approximately 15-20 minutes)

For best results, chill the dough and the filled rolls thoroughly. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Feel free to experiment with different nuts in the filling, such as pecans or almonds.
Store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
If the date filling seems too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
