Sounds great. I just made & froze 3 rolls of date nut pinwheel cookies.Have 2 rolls of the apricot cookie dough in freezer too, so getting a good start.
I can't use any artifical sweetners due to severe migranes.Oldest DD is in WW & she loves it....will send her your recipe.

Years ago, I also started making my own cranberry filling for cranberry pinwheels. Same dough recipe. For filling, I cook down a bag of fresh cranberries, adding fake Splenda to taste (do not add water to cranberries, they make enough juice.) I don't do nuts with the cranberry filling. Roll the dough, spread the cranberries and roll up and chill. Bake normal.

My mother used to make these every Christmas. I love them! I make them now and when I take them places, people love them. The only thing I do different is don't put the nuts in with the filling. I spread the filling, then sprinkle the nuts before I roll them. I always seemed to tear the dough when I spread it with the nuts.

I don't have much problem with dough tearing.I roll them to a certain size, not as thin as paper.The filling is very thick & I spread it with back of spoon.
But whatever works is the way to go.DH says "she gives them away?" :roll:He's such a cookie guy.Don't think he ever met a cookie he didn't like.
