My only observation is that I would definitely chill this dough overnight as an hour really wasn't enough, so they weren't as perfectly circular as yours.

Forgot this! I only chilled the logs for an hour, and rolled them as a cut them. This allowed them to maintain their wheel-ness. A gentle touch is the key here, as I had no time to spare! Ooops!

We brought them to a dinner party and all were impressed. A side note, I used a hand mixer and then brought the dough together by hand. It worked like a charm (a crumbly pie dough). Thank you for the delicious recipe... Hi Deb,

While the big rolls are chilling in the fridge, I took the scraps and made weird little pinwheels and stuck them in the toaster oven. They were delicious but maybe needed a pinch of salt to shine?

Thank you for such a lovely selection of cookies to choose from. I was glad to see this recipe amongst the others because these are my all time FAVORITE cookie! Seriously, I could eat each and every one of these cookies every time I make them. They would definitely undo the 30 pounds of weight I've lost! Yikes. I have been making this cookie annually for years. I originally inherited the recipe from my grandmother, who called them Filled Cookies and she would roll them just like yours. As far as I concerned it doesn't much matter how you roll 'em they ALWAYS TASTE good. (Have I said how much I like these cookies?) Even those who had trouble with the challenges of this recipe... the sticky dough, the rolling, the cutting and the spewing of the filling during baking said they tasted good despite not looking good! The flavors are so rich and complex. Sweet, chewy, light, buttery, sticky and yummy. One final note, I've substituted/added coconut, currants and other nuts/flavors of jam for variety.. just be careful to not overdo it. Can I have another? All right and now for the bird in the house story. I guess you never forget it when you've experienced such an occasion. To make a long story short, when I was in high school (way back in the '70's) I walked into our old 13 room Victorian house. I was home alone and thought I heard voices coming from upstairs. I called the police. When they arrived we walked through the house guns drawn, (with me leading the way) only to find a bird trapped in one of the bedrooms! A harrowing experience to say the least. I wish I'd known about the towel trick then! I’ve just recently run across your blog while searching cookie recipes for my annual holiday cookie baking marathon.
