Enjoy classic chocolate and vanilla pinwheel cookies using this tried-and-tested homemade recipe. These mesmerizingly beautiful and delightfully soft pinwheel cookies come together by layering and rolling chocolate and vanilla cookie dough together. The best part about these slice-and-bake cookies? You only need to make 1 dough! Follow my in-depth tutorial and video for recipe success.
One reader, Christi, commented: “Love this recipe for pinwheel cookies! My grandma used to make these. Love the swirls, the vanilla and chocolate combo, and the buttery taste! I made a few dipped in chocolate, but these cookies are so good they can stand alone. Thank you, Sally, for the detailed instructions and the video! ★★★★★“
Have you ever made pinwheel cookies before? I have a recipe for these slice-and-bake style cookies in Sally’s Cookie Addiction, but this one is very slightly different. (Though the end result is the same!) The main difference is that I use cocoa powder + milk for the chocolate dough today, instead of melted chocolate. I find the chocolate dough more pliable this way, and it’s easier to roll up with the vanilla dough to make that characteristic swirl. Both recipes work.
Today’s recipe actually uses the same base dough as mint chocolate checkerboard cookies and these neapolitan cookies, but since pinwheels have the tendency to overspread, I add a *touch* more flour. This gives you extra insurance, just in case the dough starts to get a bit sticky.
It’s All Made From the Same Dough
What I love most about this recipe is that, like my cookbook version, these neapolitan cookies, and these mint chocolate checkerboard cookies, it’s all made from one base dough. We’ll add some cocoa powder and milk to half the dough to make the chocolate portion. I also love adding a little espresso powder because it really deepens the cocoa flavor—I always use it in chocolate cake.
Some pinwheel cookie recipes have you make two completely separate doughs. So I appreciate the convenience of this version! You can spend more time perfecting your swirl. 😉

What’s the Texture Like?
They may look like crunchy cookies, but they’re surprisingly soft in the centers, thanks to the soft chocolate dough and the extra egg yolk. If you can handle a sticky chocolate dough, you’ll be rewarded with a soft cookie! Let’s get started.
Let Me Walk You Through This Process
The full printable recipe is below, but there are some key points I want to walk you through before you begin. The process can be tricky if you aren’t fully prepared, so let me set you up for success!
The base dough is very similar to my sugar cookies, butter cookies, chocolate butter cookies, and spritz cookies. You need these ingredients:
Not many notes on the ingredients as these are all fairly common in a baker’s kitchen! Two things, though: (1) Make sure you use proper room temperature butter for creaming. See my how to cream butter and sugar tutorial for extra guidance on this step. (2) We’re adding an extra yolk to the dough for softness. Trust me on this—1 egg is not enough and 2 eggs is too much. So, just like a batch of extra moist and soft chocolate chip cookies, use 1 whole egg + 1 extra egg yolk.
(Note the photo above shows 2 eggs, but you don’t need that second egg white.)
Make the Dough & Chill It Briefly
The dough comes together with a mixer fairly quickly. After it’s all mixed together, divide it in half. Don’t get worried if it’s not perfectly even—if one portion of the dough is a little less than half, use that one for making the chocolate dough, since you’re going to add more ingredients to it:
Place half of the dough back into the mixing bowl and add cocoa powder, milk, and the optional espresso powder:
Now you have 2 doughs: vanilla and chocolate. Using lightly floured hands, shape each into small rectangles, about 1 inch thick, and about 4×5 inches. (The exact measurement doesn’t matter much here, but it will when you go to roll the doughs out after chilling.) You can use flour on the counter and your hands when you’re shaping the vanilla dough, but you can use cocoa powder instead when you’re working with the chocolate dough. (Or just stick with flour.)
Wrap doughs up and chill for just 60–90 minutes. The point is to chill the doughs just long enough so they’re easier to roll out and handle, but also still pliable and bendy. If the doughs chill too long, they’ll be too stiff. 60–90 minutes is your sweet spot! If you’re making these as part of a marathon holiday cookie baking day, this is the perfect amount of time to tackle quick no-chill recipe like shortbread cookies.
Tip: The chocolate dough is stickier than the vanilla dough. It’s not quite as sticky as these double chocolate chip cookies, but cocoa powder usually produces a sticky dough. That’s why, when we roll the doughs together to make the pinwheel design, we have the vanilla dough on the bottom. Vanilla will be on the outside of the cookie. If we swapped them and had the chocolate dough on the outside, the cookies would spread even more.
How to Roll Pinwheel Cookies
Are you ready to roll? Let me walk you through this. I promise you can do it.
After the blocks of dough chill in the refrigerator, it’s time to shape the pinwheel cookies. Place a piece of parchment paper on your work surface, and sprinkle it with flour to keep the dough from sticking.
Rolling Tip: I layer the parchment paper sheet on top of a silicone baking mat, to keep it from sliding all over the counter. You could also tape the edges of the parchment to the counter before you begin rolling. I find these doughs stick less to parchment vs. silicone baking mats, so that’s why I roll out on parchment. Do not roll the doughs out on your counter because you’ll have a difficult time lifting/transferring them.
Remove the vanilla dough from the refrigerator. (Keep the chocolate dough in the fridge for now.)
Roll the vanilla dough into an 8×14-inch rectangle, between 1/8–1/4 inch thick.
Another Rolling Tip: Flip the dough every now and then in between rolls, to make sure it’s not sticking. Add a little more flour if needed to prevent sticking. Use your hands to straighten out the sides. You can see me do this in the video below.
Return the rolled-out vanilla dough to the refrigerator (simply lift up the parchment and place the whole thing in the refrigerator), and then work on the chocolate dough. Dust your rolling pin and work surface with cocoa powder and roll out the chocolate dough to about the same size as the vanilla, or slightly smaller.
Carefully pick up the chocolate dough and layer it over the top of the vanilla dough. Pat it down gently to rid any air bubbles from between the layers.
Tip: If you’re having trouble getting the doughs to line up nicely, see the Troubleshooting section below. You can straighten up the edges with your hands.
Working from one of the long edges, begin rolling. Go slowly, and try to roll it as tightly as possible. You can kind of meld the doughs together with your fingers at the beginning to get the roll started. (You can see me do this in the video tutorial below.) If you notice bare or cracked spots of vanilla dough, just patch it up with your fingers as you go. Doesn’t have to look perfect.
Chill the Dough Logs for 2 Hours
You’ll end up with a log of dough that’s about 14 inches long. Slice it in half. Wrap up both logs of dough, and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, and up to 4 days. This chilling time can be much longer than the first, because we’re done rolling/shaping the dough and it no longer has to be pliable.
Let’s Slice & Bake the Cookies
When you’re ready to bake, use a sharp knife to slice each dough log into 14 cookies, about 1/2 inch thick. If any of your cookies look a little misshapen, you can reshape into a circle before you put it on the baking sheet. (Again, you can see me doing this in the video below.)
Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet and bake.
How to Prevent Pinwheel Cookies From Over-Spreading
These pinwheel cookies have a tendency to spin… I mean, spread… out of control, so we want to keep this dough cold. Make sure you chill the dough for at least the minimum amount of time whenever the recipe instructs. 2 tips:
- Any time you aren’t working with a dough, place it back in the refrigerator. When you’re working with either the vanilla or the chocolate dough, keep the other one in the refrigerator.
- You can also place the baking sheets with the sliced cookies on them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before baking, to help set their shape. (Or put all of the sliced cookies on a plate to refrigerate if your refrigerator doesn’t have enough room for a baking sheet.)
Troubleshooting Pinwheel Cookies
- Vanilla dough is sticking to parchment: Place the whole thing back in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, then use flour-dusted fingers to patch it back together as best you can.
- Chocolate dough is tearing when I try to move it: Place the whole thing back in the refrigerator if you can for 10 minutes. Use cocoa powder- or flour-dusted hands to patch anything back together.
- Chocolate & vanilla doughs aren’t lined up evenly: That’s fine, tear off any overhanging pieces of chocolate dough, and use it to patch any areas that need some.
- I can’t get it to be an even rectangle: Use a pizza cutter to slice off any uneven edges.
- Chocolate and vanilla swirls are separating in baked cookies: Make sure that you pat down any air bubbles between the chocolate and vanilla doughs before you roll them together. Also, it could be that you’re adding a little too much flour when you’re rolling out the doughs. This is great for keeping the dough from sticking, but can also make it difficult for the 2 doughs to stick together. Next time, try using an egg wash with the extra egg white and 1 Tablespoon water. Brush the egg wash on the vanilla dough before layering on the chocolate dough. (This is a step in my cookbook, but I omit it here. I find ridding air bubbles between the doughs usually solves the issue.)
Variations
- Tinting the Dough: Feel free to tint the vanilla dough. After dividing the dough in half, beat in a little gel food coloring. If you’re skipping the chocolate dough (see next), you can tint both doughs OR you can leave 1 dough white and tint the other half.
- Skipping the Chocolate/Adding Flavor Extracts: Yes, you can skip the chocolate and tint one or both of the doughs a color so the pinwheel design shows. Feel free to keep the flavor of both dough halves vanilla, or add another extract, such as peppermint or coconut. See recipe Note below.
- Roll Dough Logs in Sprinkles or Coarse Sugar: After chilling the logs of dough, you can roll in sprinkles or coarse sugar before slicing and baking.
- Chocolate Dip: Like these chocolate ginger cookies, pinwheels are extra delicious with a dip in melted chocolate. I sprinkled the chocolate with some shimmery gold sprinkles. Who doesn’t love sparkly Christmas cookies?!
Or try a mint chocolate version, like these checkerboard cookies. Flavor/tint the vanilla dough just as you do in that recipe.

Description
These buttery slice-and-bake pinwheel cookies are a delicious (and beautiful!) swirl of chocolate and vanilla, which start with 1 basic cookie dough. For best success, watch the video tutorial and read through the recipe and Notes before starting. I also have a troubleshooting section above.
Ingredients
Base Cookie Dough
- 2 and 2/3 cups (333g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (16 Tbsp; 226g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Dough
- 2 Tablespoons (10g) unsweetened natural or dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 Tablespoon (15ml) milk
- optional: 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
Optional for Dipping
- 6 ounces (170g) white, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate, finely chopped (see Note)
- optional: sprinkles
Instructions
- Make the dough: Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until creamed, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. (Here’s a helpful tutorial if you need guidance on how to cream butter and sugar.) Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until combined. Dough will be thick and sticky. Remove from the mixing bowl—no need to rinse out the mixing bowl.
- Divide the dough in half: You should have a little less than 2 lbs. of dough, or somewhere between 800–900g. Divide the dough in half. Note: It’s ok if the portions aren’t exactly half. If one half is slightly smaller, use that one for the chocolate dough.
- Make the chocolate dough: Place half of the dough back into the mixing bowl. Add the cocoa powder, milk, and espresso powder (if using). Beat on low speed until dough is combined.
- Shape & chill for 60–90 minutes: The doughs are sticky, so just do your best in this step. Place both doughs on a lightly floured work surface. (Tip: I like to use cocoa powder as my “flour” for handling/rolling the chocolate dough.) With lightly floured hands, carefully form each dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle block, about 4×5 inches in size. Wrap both dough blocks up in plastic wrap, parchment paper, or aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 60–90 minutes. The *key* is to only refrigerate until the dough is less sticky, but still pliable enough to bend and shape. Chilling any longer will make it difficult to roll together. If you need to chill it for longer than 90 minutes, make sure you let it sit at room temperature for 15–30 minutes before continuing with the next step.
- Roll out the doughs: Remove vanilla dough from the refrigerator and unwrap. Keep chocolate dough in the refrigerator. Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper. Note that I like to place the parchment paper on top of a silicone baking mat to prevent it from sliding all over the counter, or you can tape it down. (Do not roll the doughs directly on the counter because you may have a hard time lifting/transferring them.) Using a lightly floured rolling pin, begin rolling out the vanilla dough. Flip the dough every now and then between rolls to ensure it’s not sticking to the parchment. Roll out to an 8×14-inch rectangle, and use your hands to ensure the sides are straight and smooth. The thickness will be between 1/8–1/4 inch. Set the dough aside, and it’s most helpful if you refrigerate the vanilla dough at this time. Pick up the vanilla dough using the parchment paper and place the whole thing in the refrigerator as you roll out the chocolate dough. Lightly dust another piece of parchment paper with flour or cocoa powder. Using a lightly floured (or cocoa powder-ed) rolling pin, roll the chocolate dough out to an 8×14-inch rectangle, or very slightly smaller. Remove vanilla dough from the refrigerator. Carefully peel the chocolate dough off the parchment and do your best to line it up on top of the vanilla dough. Flatten the chocolate dough on top as best you can, gently patting it down to remove any air bubbles between the layers of doughs. Patch any torn chocolate dough pieces back together. And feel free to use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to straighten up any uneven edges.
- Roll into a log: Starting with a long side, tightly roll the 2 doughs together, making sure there are no gaps between them. You can use the parchment paper under the vanilla dough to assist in rolling. Go slowly, and try to roll it as tightly as possible. You can kind of meld the doughs together with your fingers at the beginning to get the roll started. (You can see me do this in the video tutorial below.) If you notice bare or cracked spots of vanilla dough, which usually happens (don’t worry!), just patch it up with your fingers as you go. Doesn’t have to look perfect. Once you have your log of dough, cut it in half, so you have two 7-inch-long dough logs.
- Chill for 2 more hours: Wrap each dough log in plastic wrap, parchment paper, or aluminum foil and refrigerate for 2 more hours and up to 4 days.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Slice and bake: Slice each log into 14 1/2-inch-thick cookies.
- Arrange cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets—expect these cookies to expand quite a bit in the oven. If the dough got a little soft from working with it, chill the cookies on the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before baking. Bake for 14–15 minutes or until very lightly browned around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional chocolate dipping: Coarsely chop the chocolate. Melt in a double boiler or the microwave. If using the microwave, stir every 20 seconds until it’s smooth. Dip half of each cooled cookie into the chocolate. Add sprinkles on top of chocolate, if desired. Allow chocolate to completely set at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for 1 week. Refrigerate cookies dipped in chocolate after a few days.
Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: Baked cookies freeze well up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature, if desired, before serving. You can shape the cookie doughs into the pinwheel logs and chill in the refrigerator for up to 4 days (see step 9), or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then continue with step 10.
- Special Tools (affiliate links): Glass Mixing Bowl | Whisk | Electric Mixer (Handheld or Stand) | Baking Sheets | Silicone Baking Mats | Parchment Paper Sheets | Rolling Pin | Cooling Rack | Double Boiler (optional for melting chocolate) | Gold Shimmer Sprinkles
- Tinting the dough with food coloring: If you want to tint the vanilla dough a color, you absolutely can. After dividing the dough in half, beat a couple drops (depends on how vibrant you want the color) of gel food coloring into the vanilla dough. If you’re skipping the chocolate dough (see Note below), you can tint both doughs (such as 1 dough red and 1 dough green) OR you can leave 1 dough white and tint the other half (such as white/vanilla and red/peppermint—see Note below about adding flavor extract).
- Can I make these without the chocolate/add another flavor? Yes, but you’ll want to tint half of the dough so the pinwheel design shows. (See Note above.) You can keep the flavor of both dough halves vanilla, or add another extract such as peppermint or coconut. If you want the entire dough flavored, go ahead and add 1 teaspoon of your favorite flavor extract when you add the vanilla extract. If you only want to flavor half of the dough, beat 1/2 teaspoon extract into half of the dough before the 1st chill (replace step 5).
- Rolling in Sprinkles or Coarse Sugar: After chilling the logs of dough, roll in 1/2 cup (about 100g) sprinkles or coarse sugar before slicing and baking. If the sprinkles/coarse sugar are not sticking to the dough, use a pastry brush to brush the dough very lightly with a little water, and then try coating again.
- Chocolate for Dipping: The best chocolate for melting and dipping is the “baking chocolate” bars found in the baking aisle of the grocery store. I typically use Bakers or Ghirardelli brands. You can use white, semi-sweet, or dark/bittersweet. Do not use chocolate chips because they contain stabilizers, which prevent them from melting into the correct consistency.
Reader Comments and Reviews
Like a lot of other reviews I saw here after starting the recipe, I couldnt get the recipe to turn out. I’ve successfully made several cookie recipes from here with no issue but the dough for this was too wet and I couldnt get it to set no matter how much I chilled it. I think this recipe should be retested and reposted because I just ended up with a mess and wasted ingredients.
I was disappointed with this. I did follow the instructions, and the problem I had was step 7 cause the coco (from flouring before)seperated the cookies when in the oven. So, my cookies had dips from seperate swirls
This is one of my daughter’s favorite recipes! For the holidays, would I be able to use red food coloring for the chocolate dough? If so, at which point would I add the food coloring?
Hi A, after dividing the dough in half, beat a couple drops (depends on how vibrant you want the color) of gel food coloring into the dough. Hope they’re a hit!
Too wet 🙁 I only had vegan butter available and I am wondering if it messed up my dough. It is chilling now but I can tell that the consistency is way off. Any chance to salvage them?
Excellent recipe, keeping it as a Christmas cookie staple. This is the best Pinwheel recipe I have had, but I should have known it would be this good because everything I make from this website turns out fantastic. One of my kids who dislikes almost everything chocolate said these were great!
These cookies are very bland with a
Shortbread-like texture. I almost felt like I forgot the sugar due to how not sweet these are. I used a quality Dutch Processed Cocoa. I dipped them in Milk chocolate & they are much better that way. I will try to make them again using extra Cocoa and extra vanilla and/or Almond extract. I love Sally’s recipes, but this one isn’t my favorite.
I have them chilling right now, but I saw we were supposed to cut the logs into 14 and 1/2 inch cookies. Did you mean 1 1/2 inches? The dough tastes amazing though!
You will want to cut them into 14 cookies, 1/2 inch thick each.
Love this recipe very much.
This recipe is amazing! A question: would this process (slice and bake) work with your Cream Cheese Cut-Out Cookies?
Hi Ambika, I haven’t tested it, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t!
I saw a recipe, peanut butter pinwheels, using refrigerated cookie doughs. I was wondering if I could somehow manipulate this recipe to make these. Should I jst make up a batch of your PeanutButter cookie dough? What do you think? Thanks
Hi Mike, sounds fantastic! It would take some recipe testing to properly incorporate peanut butter into this dough. Our peanut butter cookies are a bit too soft for this type of cookie and would spread quite a bit. If you decide to do any experimenting, let us know how it goes!
This is a great recipe. We thought the plain dough needed a little something more, so the second time, I added orange extract and orange zest. It is subtle but oh-so-good! Thanks for sharing this recipe, it’s a keeper.
These cookies were so good, I’m making them again for our cookie swap! If I want to double the recipe, can I use 3 eggs, or do I need to use 2 whole eggs, and 2 egg yolks?
So glad you enjoyed the cookies! If doubling, we would use 2 whole eggs + 2 egg yolks.
I am the biggest fan of Sally’s. I refuse to use any other recipe anymore
This was the first recipe my family and I weren’t to exited about. They look gorgeous of course and following all the directions I didn’t have any issues but the flavor was just very mild and the cookies quite dry…
Otherwise the dozens and dozens of recipes I have made before were spot on and the best versions of pastries I have ever done!
Grateful for your website!!!
Thank you for your feedback, Janine! And thank you for using my website and trusting my recipes.
Can these cookies – already dipped in chocolate – be frozen? Or do I need to dip them in chocolate after freezing??
Hi Leslie! For best results, we would dip in chocolate after freezing and thawing the cookies.
Hi There! If I’m omitting the cocoa do i replace it with the same amount of flour? This would be the dough i would be adding colour to . Thank you!
Hi Robin! You don’t need to add extra flour if not adding cocoa powder. The recipe notes have more details. Happy baking!
Great recipe. Made original and a mint/chocolate variety. I am going to try a lemon/berry version with lemon zest and ollalaberry jam
Before I make – wondering how large these cookies are (diameter).
Hi Ann, some spread more than others but I would say usually around 2.5 inches.
My 10 year old granddaughter is a type one diabetic. I need to know the total number of carbs in your pinwheel cookies without the chocolate chip.
Thank you.

Tried twice, failed twice at the same thing.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong , the dough is too wet, it’s not as dry and strong as yours.. I’ve added more flour this time, same issue. Maybe I mixed the dough too fast?
Thanks in advance
Hi T! Make sure to start with proper room temperature butter, chill the dough as instructed, and be generous with flour/cocoa powder when rolling the dough out. If the dough feels to be getting too warm/sticky while you’re working with it, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes before continuing. Hope these tips help!
Dough was way too sticky, even after chilling. And the flavour was just okay.
Recipe was so good i infused the butter with vanilla spiced chai te and it tasted so good with the chocolate
Love this recipe for Pinwheel Cookies! My grandma used to make these. Love the swirls, the vanilla and chocolate combo, and the buttery taste! I made a few dipped in chocolate, but these cookies are so good, they can stand alone. Thank you, Sally for the detailed instructions and the video!
These cookies were delicious and not too difficult to make. I definitely recommend reading through the instructions before starting. They looked beautiful on Christmas cookie platters I gifted.
These ones took some practice to get them to look picture perfect. Definitely make sure the dough is properly chilled. Even the not so pretty ones are tasty though.
We made the original (chocolate/vanilla) without the frosting or espresso powder. They look beautiful and turned out as expected. No issues with bleeding. The chocolate part was super flavorful (almost like a brownie) but we found the vanilla part to be less strong in flavor and a bit dry.
Thanks Sally for great notes and I made this tonight – turned out delicious! Happy new year and baking
A fun and pretty cookie. Not the most flavorful, but there’s a place for a more basic while still unique cookie.
I loved the recipe and the outcome of these cookies! I had a little trouble making the correct shape because I’m not that used to rolling and shaping doughs but the recipe was easy to follow and the end product was so delicious!! Everyone loves these!
Such a fun, delicious cookie to make! The pinwheels are simple to assemble, bake beautifully and taste amazing, Sally and her team have done it again. Fantastic recipe with easy to follow step by step instructions. Yummy!
I colored my dough red & green for Christmas, flavored the green dough with peppermint extract, and dipped them in chocolate…. Delicious!! Mint & chocolate is my Favorite combination! These were Amazing, and definitely didn’t last long in my house! I’ll for sure be making more of these!
