Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened (2 sticks)
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Raspberry Swirl

  • 1 cup seedless raspberry jam

Instructions
 

Making the Cookie Dough

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined and a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Assembly and Chilling

  • On a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of parchment paper, roll out one disk of chilled dough into a 12x8 inch rectangle.
  • Spread 0.5 cup of seedless raspberry jam evenly over the dough, leaving a 0.5-inch border on all sides.
  • Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal.
  • Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and repeat with the second disk of dough and remaining jam.
  • Refrigerate both dough logs for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to slice easily. You can also refrigerate them overnight.

Baking the Cookies

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Unwrap one dough log and slice into 0.25-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife.
  • Place the sliced cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still appear soft but will firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra touch, you can drizzle the cooled cookies with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a little milk or lemon juice. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
