Step 1

Melt chocolate in microwave about a minute. After every 20 seconds, stop, stir and repeat till melted.

Divide dough in half. Add the chocolate to half of the cookie batter. Mix. Put into the refrigerator for a few hours until it is nice and cold.

Roll it out into 6 x 16 inch rectangle into 1/4 inch thickness. Roll out both the white and the chocolate between wax paper, both sides floured first. Remove the wax paper. Invert the chocolate onto the white dough. Next, roll it up into a pinwheel, nice and tight.
