Gale Gand's Pinwheel Cookie DoughDeborah Ory; food styling: Elizabeth Duffy

Pinwheel cookies, in which chocolate and vanilla dough are layered, rolled, and sliced, are an impressive-looking and delicious treat. Though the rolling process is not complicated, I find that many people are a bit intimidated by it. So, why not do it for them? You make the dough and assemble the log, then the recipient just slices and bakes. Give them the joy of baking without the mess!
