Pinwheel Cookies I

These cookies are mixed, wrapped in wax paper, chilled, sliced and then baked. My mother made these and now I make them for my family.

Servings: 36

Ingredients:

• 1 1 / 2 cups ( or 190g ) sifted all – purpose flour
• 1 / 2 teaspoon ( or 2g ) baking powder

Directions:

1. Combine butter and sugar and egg yolk. Add dry ingredients and milk alternately.
2. Divide dough into 2 equal parts. Melt chocolate over low heat and add to one half of the dough.
3. Use a rolling pin and roll each half into a rectangle. Put the chocolate rectangle on top of the vanilla one. Roll up like a jelly roll in wax paper.
