Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in sifted flour and salt until a cohesive dough forms.
- Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle (10 x 30 inches). Spread raspberry jam over the surface, leaving a border on one edge.
- Roll the dough into a log from the jam-covered end and seal by pressing the unjammed edge.
- Refrigerate the log for another 15 minutes before preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the log into 1/4-inch thick cookies and place them on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
