This would be an awesome treat to take to a party, they look so beautiful!!! Love the coconut swirl, YUM! Hugs, Terra
the pinwheel swirls made these cookies incredibly cute and delectable!
These pinwheels are absolutely gorgeous! Looking at the ingredients I'm going to assume that the filling stays soft after cooking instead of baking into a cookie. I love the soft and crunchy mix.
pretty pinwheels Angie :D
Your blog is a real encyclopedia for any baker, Angie! Just amazing how you keep dishing out so many recipes with such perfection. Hugs.
Oh i love their psychedelic looks Angie!
Chocolate and coconut is such a great combo and this cream cheese filling sounds wonderful!!

The first thing that comes to my mind when I see these is GORGEOUS! I would love to taste these.
Beautiful pinwheels! And looks very delicious too! You are an amazing baker!
They look pretty! I love anything with coconut.
Angie, I adore your Pinwheel Spelt Coconut cookies. The addition of the hazelnuts really takes it over the top. Love the combination of the filling with the cream cheese, coconut, and hazelnuts...yumm; just making me drool over these unusual and most amazing cookies.
BTW-I noticed you also have the same 'anonymous' comment as I did. I finally had to do away with letting anonymous commenters post on my blog after having to delete 150 from my spam folder. Now it is strictly registered users. My daughter Lora had the same problem, except she didn't have the 'spam' and over 100 popped up on her comments last month!
I love every bit of these Angie! Coconut pinwheels have to be the cookie you get on the way to heaven ;-)
Wow, these look fantastic and the photography is just beautiful!
Tes biscuits sont absolument magnifiques.
J'en mangerai avec grand plaisir.
See soon.
I have never tried cooking with spelt but the looks of this make me want too!
I love a spiral cookie! The cream cheese filling sounds fantastic.
