Ingredients

• 3 cups Powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract.

Step 2

Using clean hands or a sturdy spatula, mix the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. The dough should be pliable but firm enough to roll out. If it feels too sticky, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 3

Place a large sheet of parchment paper or wax paper on your work surface. Lightly dust it with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto the prepared surface and roll it out into a rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Aim for a size of about 8x12 inches, but the exact dimensions don’t have to be perfect.

Step 5

Spread the peanut butter evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border (about 1/2 inch) around the edges to prevent the filling from oozing out when rolled.

Step 6

Using the parchment or wax paper to guide you, gently roll up the dough into a tight log, starting from one of the longer sides. Carefully press as you roll to maintain its shape and prevent cracks.

Step 7

Once rolled, wrap the log tightly in the parchment or wax paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Step 8

After chilling, remove the log from the refrigerator and slice it into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
