Christmas Pinwheel Cookies

Recipes

Bake up a batch of these Christmas Pinwheel Cookies made with a sugar cookie dough and decorated with Christmas sprinkles.

This past Thanksgiving I did good limiting myself on how many desserts I enjoyed after dinner, although I would have loved a slice of apple pie, cherry pie, a bite of the chocolate pudding pie and cheesecake, I only took a sliver of cheesecake.  With Christmas right around the corner it is becoming harder and harder to stay on track with all of the sweets around. The kids have been asking to make cookies and Christmas recipes every day but I have been trying to cut down on the amount of sugar that I eat, and most of our go-to recipes call for sugar.

Christmas Pinwheel Cookies

I know it’s my New Years Resolution every year to eat healthier and this year started out slow but for the past couple of months I have been doing good limiting the sweets. I never really thought to swap out the sugar in recipes for SPLENDA products,  but for the past week and a half I have been slowly replacing SPLENDA® Sweetener Products, in my coffee as well as in a couple of our recipes. Although it’s a small lifestyle change, it can lead to a bigger results over time especially when I put sugar in my coffee daily.

After an afternoon of the kids begging to make Christmas sugar cookies I decided to make these Christmas pinwheel cookies, except swap the sugar for  SPLENDA® Sugar Blend. I made these Christmas Pinwheel Cookies exactly how I normally would, except with one minor change, instead of one cup of sugar, I used 1/2 cup of SPLENDA Sugar Blend, since it is part SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener and part sugar, you will only need half the amount.  The kids didn’t even notice the change, just exclaimed how great they tasted.
