Jam filled Pinwheel Cookies



We are in the 3rd week of Blogging Marathon#51 and under the eggless cookies theme I am sharing a simple and cute looking cookies.I bookmarked this recipe from Priya's blog where Divya shared it in a guest post.
These cookies were made with egg and cream cheese but I made an eggless version.Also used thick yogurt instead of cream cheese and powdered sugar as it has a considerable amount of corn starch helps in binding.Any type of jam can be used,you can either keep it inside and fold or fold it and keep it on the top.
One of my friend's daughter who is a teen helped me out to roll the cookies and so humble to be a hand model to hold the cookie.Now off to the recipe........................................
