Steps:
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Mix in flour and salt.
- Remove half the dough, wrap in plastic or wax paper. Place in refrigerator to chill.
- Mix cocoa and peppermint extract into the remaining dough. Wrap in plastic or wax paper. Place in refrigerator to chill with vanilla dough for 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured piece of wax paper, roll vanilla dough into a 13×9 inch rectangle about 3/16 inch thick. Carefully lift the wax paper and put it on a cookie sheet. Chill in the freezer or fridge for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, on a lightly floured piece of wax paper roll out the chocolate dough into a 13×8 inch rectangle about 3/16 inch thick. Chill for a couple minutes if necessary.
- Place vanilla dough on the counter, carefully flip over the chocolate dough and lay it flat on top of the vanilla dough, leaving about 1/4 inch gap on the right side. Peel the wax paper off the chocolate dough. Trim edges so that they are smooth and even on all sides.
- Starting from the right side, carefully roll up the dough. If it starts to crack, unroll and let warm up for a minute, then continue rolling up tightly into a long roll/log. Wrap in plastic or wax paper and refrigerate for 8 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). Cut roll into slices about 1/8 inch thick and place each slice on a parchment/silpat lined cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes or until they start to brown around the edges. Immediately remove from pan and place on cooling rack.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the filling: Melt shortening and chocolate in a small pan over medium-low heat. Add in milk, sugar and salt. Heat to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally. Boil 1 minute without stirring. Place pan in a bowl of ice water and beat until frosting is thick. Stir in peppermint extract.
- Spread frosting on the inside of a cookie and press another cookie on top to make a sandwich.

PEPPERMINT PINWHEEL COOKIES
This recipe is from Southern Living...December 2009. Leave time to freeze the dough before cooking the cookies. The picture in the magazine shows them wrapped in cellophane with ribbons on either side of the cookie so they look like big starlight peppermint candies. Cute idea for packaging for gift giving...

CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT PINWHEEL COOKIES
I recently found this recipe on my computer and sadly did not keep the source of this delectable treat. Decided to add them to my trays this year. The cookies are quite large so you can always roll them out a bit more to increase your yield.

Steps:
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Place butter and sugar in large bowl of electric stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add flour, and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. The dough will be very stiff and crumbly at this point alost like a shortbread. Don't worry, you are adding liquid in the next steps.
- Divide the dough in half and add chocolate and vanilla to 1 half and incorporate with hands. Add egg yolk, peppermint extract, and crushed candy to other half of dough and incorporate with hands. (If you like you can add a drop or two of red food coloring to make the dough a pppermint pink.) Cover both with plastic and chill for approximately 5-10 minutes.
- Roll out doughs separately to approximately 1/4-inch thickness. Place peppermint dough on top of chocolate and press together around the edges. Using waxed paper or flexible cutting board underneath, roll dough into log. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for 2 hours or more. (I let my logs cool for 6 hours and they were very easy to slice.).
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Remove dough from the refrigerator and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place cookies 1-inch apart on greased baking sheet, parchment, or silicone baking mat and bake for 12 to 13 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking time. Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
