Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper or lightly spray with Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. Unroll pie crusts; press each into 10 1/2-inch square. Brush squares with melted butter.
  • 2 In food processor, place cranberries, pecans, sugar, cinnamon and orange peel. Cover; process with on-and-off pulses until mixture is finely chopped. Spread half of mixture on each pie crust square.
  • 3 Roll up each pie crust into a log; pinch edge tightly to seal. In small bowl, beat egg and water until blended. Brush egg mixture over each log. Using serrated knife, cut each log into 10 slices. Place slices, cut sides up, 1 inch apart on cookie sheet; replacing any filling. Reshape slices, if necessary.
  • 4 Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove pinwheels on parchment from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Spoon about 1 teaspoon honey on each slice. Serve warm or cool.

Delicious recipe. I am not much of a baker but these were so easy and tasted terrific. I love the combination of cranberry and orange. This recipe is a winner. I will make this often for my family and friends.

They are delicious! We made this recipe all the way in South Korea and loved it. This is a favorite in our house now.

Dangerously good! A friend made these and I was the lucky "guinea pig" that got to sample them. Not too sweet--just right and you could taste the cranberry, orange and pecans. A great blend of ingredients. This recipe is already in my file and will be made this coming weekend for visitors.

we really enjoyed these cookies. I used brown sugar instead of white. My only complaint was that they were a bit difficult to slice. The next time i make them, and there will definetly be a next time, i will freeze for a while before slicing. Otherwise this was a very easy and tasty recipe.
