Description
Delicious powdered sugar jam swirl cookies that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup fruit jam (strawberry, raspberry, etc.)
- powdered sugar – for dusting
Instructions
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Chill the Dough: Divide the dough in two equal parts. Wrap each part in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour until firm.
- Roll and Fill: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll each portion of dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread a thin layer of jam over each rectangle, leaving a small border.
- Form the Cookies: Carefully roll up each rectangle tightly from the long side, forming a log. Slice each log into 1/2-inch thick pieces and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
- Finish the Cookies: Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- If the dough is too soft to handle, chill for a bit longer until it’s easy to roll.
- Experiment with different types of jams for variety.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
