Pinwheel Cookies I

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

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 0.5 cup butter
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate

Steps

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.
4. Chill several hours, best if chilled overnight.
5. Slice them and bake at 400 degrees (200 degrees C) for about 5 minutes.
