Day 4: Cinnamon Sugar Pinwheels
This recipe looks super yummy with coffee or cocoa. I think you could use a pre-made sugar cookie dough for this recipe, but I posted the Sugar Cookie Recipe Real Simple recommends just before this one. I would probably do a test batch before using the pre-made store bought version for an event. They can sometimes spread too thin when baking. What I have done before that works well, is mixed up the sugar cookie dough a day or two ahead of time place it all in a gallon size zip lock bag then store in the fridge. Enjoy.
Ingredients:

Mix up a batch of Basic Sugar Cookie Dough, but don't bake. Divide the basic sugar cookie dough in half (do not substitute slice-and-bake dough). On a floured surface, roll each piece into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle.

Sprinkle with a mixture of ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Starting from a long side, roll each rectangle into a log. Refrigerate until firm. Slice ¼ inch thick.
Bake at 350° F on parchment-lined baking sheets until just beginning to brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
Cool slightly on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
