Spiral Date-Walnut Pinwheel Cookies

1. 1

   Gather all the ingredients.

2. 2

   For the cookie dough: In a large bowl, beat the butter, 1 cup white sugar, and the brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, vanilla, flour, salt, and soda. Mix well, then set the dough aside.

3. 3

   For the filling: In a saucepan, combine the dates, sugar, water, and chopped nuts; cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens. Let the filling cool. If needed, add water until it can be spread easily on the dough.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into 4 portions. On a floured surface, roll each portion to 1/2-inch thickness. Spread with the cooled, not cold, filling.

5. 5

   Roll up jelly-roll style; seal the ends and place the rolls on cookie sheets. Refrigerate the dough until cold, about 1 hour.

6. 6

   When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Slice the chilled rolls and place them on a baking sheet.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
