Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. PISTACHIO SUGAR.
  2. Pulse pistachios and sugar in food processor until finely ground, and set aside.
  3. APRICOT FILLING.
  4. Combine all filling ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to boil reduing the heat to medium-low and simmer for 18-20 minutes stirring occasionally.
  5. When apricots are tender, transfer to food processor and puree then set aside.
  6. MAKING THE COOKIES.
  7. Heat oven to 400ºF.
  8. Line 2 bakiing sheets with your fav lining; silocone, foil, etc.
  9. Roll one sheet of pastry dough into 15 1/2 X 12 1/2 inches rectangle and trimming it with pizza cutter or fluted pastry wheel to 15 X 12 inches.
  10. Cut pastry crosswise into 4 - 3 inch strips and cut each strip into 5 - 3 inch squares. (you will have 20 3 squares from each sheet).
  11. TO FORM PINWHEELS.
  12. On each square make a 1 1/2 diagonal slit from each corner toward the center but not through it.
  13. Transfer squares to baking sheet.
  14. Place a level 1/2 tsp of filling in center of each square.
  15. Fold every other point of pastry square up and over center filling, overlapping in middle of filling.
  16. Gently press points into filling to secure.
  17. Lightly brush with egg white, placing a whole pistachio in the center of each.
  18. Sprinkle each pinwheel with 1/2 tsp pistachio sugar and a light sprinkling of the coarse decorating sugar in your choice of color.
  19. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  20. Transfer to wirerack to cool.
  21. Repeat until all pinwheeels are done.
  22. NOTE:.
  23. These are best eaten the same day as making but can be stored between waxed paper in an airtight container at room temp for about 3 days.
  24. NOTE:.
  25. I found a brand of pistachios called everybody's NUTS that are roasted and unsalted. There is a bonus to their pistachios in that if you find one unopened nut and send it to them (with verification, of course) they send you another bag of pistachios!
  26. SUGGESTION.
  27. Any pistachio sugar and filling left over can be combined and used as a spread for toast, etc.
