The Origins of
Pinwheel Cookies There are many different types of pinwheel cookies: fruity, chocolate-filled, shiny, colorful… the list goes on. But these classic chocolate and vanilla pinwheel cookies originated in Germany, where they’re called Schwarz-Weiß-Gebäck, which means black and white baked goods. They’re the perfect combination of chocolate and vanilla, with a texture that’s neither too soft nor too hard. Plus, they’re also fun to make, so the recipe was a favorite to get the whole family in the kitchen!
