Raspberry Swirl Cookies (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter (softened).
02 - ½ cup granulated sugar.
03 - 2 cups all-purpose flour.
04 - ½ tsp vanilla extract.
05 - ½ cup raspberry jam.
06 - ¼ cup white chocolate (melted).

Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract, then gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
03 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness.
04 - Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the dough.
05 - Carefully roll the dough into a log and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
06 - Slice the dough log into ¼ inch rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
08 - Drizzle the cooled cookies with melted white chocolate for an elegant finish.

Notes:

01 - Refrigerating the dough before slicing ensures that the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
02 - For a decorative touch, add a sprinkle of powdered sugar after the white chocolate drizzle sets.
