Pinwheel cookies



 Whereas I wanted to make these cookies for a long time, I have searched all over the Internet for the perfect recipe and finally decided to pick one random and make the cookies. It didn’t look perfect as you can see in the picture but the taste was magnificent. Perfect match with a cup of coffee.
I hope you like the recipe!
