Cranberry-Orange Pinwheel Cookies

First post in COOKIE TAG! (Did you miss what this game of Cookie Tag is all about?  Click here for the description.)

And the first up is Cranberry-Orange Pinwheels. 
It's a Better Homes and Garden's Recipe, found here. I adapted because it had too many steps.  Hopefully made it easier.  And they are good.  Really, really good.
 

 Cranberry-Orange Pinwheels
  •   (Filling)
  • 1  cup  cranberries
  • 1  cup  pecans
  • 1/4  cup  packed brown sugar 
  •  
  • (Cookie)
  • 1  cup  butter, softened
  • 1  cup  granulated sugar
  • 1/2  teaspoon  baking powder
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 2  eggs
  • 2  teaspoons  finely shredded orange peel
  • 3- 3 1/2  cups  all-purpose flour

  • (Icing)
  • 1 cup powered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • Splash of milk

  • Directions
    1. For filling, combine cranberries, pecans, and brown sugar in food processor, chop finely. Set aside.
    2.  Combine butter, sugar.  Add baking poser, salt, eggs, orange peel.  Mix in flour. Add enough flour to form a firm ball.
    3. Roll dough on a floured surface, creating a 12x12 inch square.  Add more flour if it's sticky. 
    Spread filling evenly over dough.  Roll dough and cut into 1/4 inch slices. Placed on a greased cookie sheet.
    4. Bake in a 375 degrees degree F oven for ~9-10 minutes or until edges are firm and bottoms are lightly browned. Transfer to a baking rack and cool.
    5. Whisk powdered sugar, vanilla and milk until drizzle frosting consistency.  Drizzle over cooled cookies.  Enjoy!
