- 3⁄4 cup margarine or 3⁄4 cup butter, softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder

- In a large bowl, beat margarine, cream cheese, and egg yolk until smooth.

- Cut dough into 3-inch squares. Place 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Brush the dough with egg white.
- Lightly press about 1.5 inches of wooden stick into the bottom center of each dough square.
- Cut diagonally through dough from each corner to within a half inch of the center of each square.
- Sprinkle sprinkles onto the dough. (I like making each pinwheel have two alternating colors).
- Fold alternate points of the sections of the square to the center to form the windmill, overlapping and pinching gently to seal in center.
- Press one M&M in the center of each windmill.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 9-12 minutes or til set.
