Steps:

  • Apricot-Ginger PinwheelsDirections: Filling In a small saucepan combine apricots, 1/4 cup water, sugar substitute, and the 1/4 teaspoon ginger. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Cover, cool completely. Dough In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, the 1/2 teaspoon ginger, baking soda, and salt; beat until combined, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in egg white, milk, and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in remaining flours. Roll dough between two pieces of waxed paper or parchment paper into a 12 x 10-inch rectangle. Remove top sheet of paper. Spread dough with apricot filling, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Starting at a long side, roll up dough. Pinch edges of dough to seal. Spread nuts on a large piece of waxed paper or parchment paper. Roll dough pinwheel in the nuts to evenly coat the outside, pressing nuts in gently so they stick to the dough. Wrap dough in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Chill for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Cut dough pinwheel into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool. Makes About 32 Cookies.
