CHRISTMAS PARTY PINWHEELS

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat cream cheese and dressing mix until smooth. Add red pepper, celery, onions and olives; mix well. Spread about 3/4 cup on each tortilla. Roll up tightly; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cut into 1/2-in. slices.

HOLIDAY PINWHEEL COOKIES

Steps:

• Add the egg: Scrape down the side of the bowl and add the egg. Mix until incorporated.
• Refrigerate the dough: for at least 30 minutes, or up to a day, to let the dough firm.
• Roll out the dough: Remove one piece of dough, unwrap it, and place on a piece of wax paper or parchment paper. Place another piece of wax paper or parchment paper on top, and roll the dough into a 6 x 12 rectangle. If the dough is too hard to roll out, let it soften for a few minutes until it's easier to roll. As you roll the dough, occasionally flip it over. If the parchment paper has become wrinkled, unpeel it from the dough and reapply (so you don't get wrinkles in your dough). When done, transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet, still sandwiched between sheets of paper. Repeat with the remaining 3 pieces of dough, stacking the sheets of dough on top of each other on the baking sheet.
• Once all four pieces of dough are rolled out, place the cookie sheet with the dough in the freezer for 15 minutes: The dough should be firm, but not frozen through.
• Repeat with remaining dough: Repeat this sandwiching and rolling process, but this time put the raspberry layer on the bottom so that when you roll the dough, the raspberry dough is on the outside.
• Chill the logs of dough: Wrap each log of dough tightly in the parchment paper or plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight. (Or freeze for up to a month.)
• Heat the oven to 350ºF: and line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper or silicon baking mat.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes: or until the cookies start to brown ever so slightly on the edges. Transfer baked cookies to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with slicing and baking the remaining dough. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

HOLIDAY ROLL UPS

Steps:

• Slice into small wheels and serve.
