π©βπ³ Instructions:
Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugar π§
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth, light, and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 2: Form the Dough π«
Gradually stir in the flour and salt, mixing on low speed or by hand until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, cover it and chill it in the refrigerator for 15β20 minutes to firm up.
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough π
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Spread the raspberry jam evenly across the top of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spillage during rolling.
Step 4: Shape the Log π
Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side. Press gently to seal the edges as you roll.
Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to slice cleanly.
Step 5: Slice and Bake πͺ
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once chilled, slice the log into cookies about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 12β15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
Step 6: Cool and Serve π
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the crisp, buttery shortbread with a sweet raspberry swirl in every bite!
