@therecipecollector: Late one night, while organizing my baking tools, inspiration struck! I whipped up a batch of these colorful spiral cookies. There's something so fun about slicing into black, orange, purple, and green dough to reveal a mesmerizing pinwheel pattern, perfect for a festive Halloween party! These Spooky Halloween Swirl Cookies are a delightfully festive Halloween treat. They feature buttery pinwheel sugar cookies swirled with striking black cocoa, bright orange, vivid purple, and lime green dough, all coated in colorful holiday sprinkles. Bite into one of these stunning spiral cookies for a crisp, buttery outer edge that melts into a tender, rich, and sweet center. The irresistible combination of classic vanilla cookie dough and rich dark cocoa makes every bite a masterpiece of flavor! **Recipe Basics** Yield: Serves 4 to 6 (approx. 8 cookies) Measurements: USA Standard **Ingredients** * 3 cups All-purpose flour * 1 teaspoon Baking powder * ½ teaspoon Salt * 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened * 1 cup Granulated white sugar * 1 Large egg * 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract * ½ cup Black cocoa powder * Orange, purple, and green gel food coloring * ½ cup Halloween sprinkles **Instructions** 1. **Whisk Dry Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. 2. **Cream Butter and Sugar:** In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated white sugar until smooth and creamy. 3. **Add Wet Ingredients:** Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. 4. **Divide and Color Dough:** Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough into four portions. Mix black cocoa powder into one portion, and tint the remaining portions with orange, purple, and green gel food coloring. 5. **Roll and Slice Swirls:** Roll out each colored dough, stack them, roll tightly into a log, coat the outside in Halloween sprinkles, slice into rounds, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 6. **Bake Cookies:** Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely on the pan. **Chef’s Notes by NancyG:** * **Chill Tip:** Chill your rolled dough log in the refrigerator for at least one hour before slicing. This helps the pinwheel shapes hold their clean, circular form in the oven. * **Storage:** Keep these swirl cookies in an airtight container at room temperature with parchment paper between layers for up to 5 days. **Nutritional Facts (estimated per serving):** * Calories: 410 * Fat: 17g * Protein: 4g * Carbs: 61g #TheRecipeCollector #NancyGCookOn #fyp #HalloweenCookies #SwirlCookies
