Recipe Summary
This is the batch of holiday cookies to take to the annual cookie swap, thanks to their inviting pinwheel shape and crave-worthy cream cheese glaze. These pinwheel cookies are reminiscent of a cinnamon roll, but they borrow their warm spiced flavor from trendy Swedish cardamom buns. The key to nicely round and even cookies is freezing the log of dough before slicing, so make sure not to skip this crucial step. For other festive flavor profiles, replace the cardamom with pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, or classic cinnamon.
