    Shirley’s Date Nut Pinwheels – Christmas, My mom used to make these every Christmas for us when I was growing up, and they bring back special memories for me, especially around the holidays We have been eating these for 50 years! These are my all time FAVORITE cookies 🙂 They make a lot of cookies, and the amount really depends on how thick you actually roll the dough, and how thin or thick you cut the cookies The cooking time is for EACH batch of cookies, and the prep time does not include time to chill dough , My Mom always made these each year for her holiday cookie tray Now that she is gone I make them This year I could not find her recipe I decided on this recipe and I was not disappointed Just like Mom’s Thanks for sharing
