Raspberry Swirl Cookies Recipe:

• Preparation time: 20 minutes (plus chilling)
• Cooking time: 14 minutes
• Servings: 24 cookies
• Equipment needed: Mixing bowls, baking sheets, parchment paper

Prepare for a baking adventure that promises cookies as delicious as they are beautiful.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup raspberry jam

Directions:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, beat in the egg and vanilla until smoothly integrated.
3. Form the Dough: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until just combined. Split the dough into two parts, flatten each into a disk, and wrap in plastic. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
4. Prep for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and non-stick baking.
5. Assemble: On a floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Spread a layer of raspberry jam over the dough, leaving a small margin at the edges.
6. Roll and Chill: Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes or until firm. Repeat with the second disk.
7. Slice and Bake: Cut the chilled dough logs into ¼-inch slices. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
8. Bake: Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden.
9. Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
