Here’s one of my tricks to making a show-stopping holiday cookie: start with a classic cookie, and give it a few tweaks. In this case, I gave the classic mallow cookie a toffee-and-caramel spin.
To start things off, I tweaked the shortbread cookie by adding some brown sugar and toffee chips to make a toffee variation. From there, I gave the marshmallow filling a gooey caramel center, and then finished it all with a chocolate dip like the traditional mallow.
I’m on a puff pastry kick. This latest recipe is a spin on the traditional pinwheel cookie recipe using puff pastry.

Alongside the pecans are some toffee chips and mini chocolate chips all tossed in brown sugar and cinnamon.
There you have it your weekend ease in less than 30 minutes. Go ahead and serve it for breakfast. I mean seriously isn’t the flakiness of that pinwheel cookie begging to be consumed with your weekend breakfast cup of coffee.
