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 add sifted flour and kosher salt until combined into a cohesive dough ball.
- Shape the dough into a flattened disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 10 inches by 30 inches.
- Spread raspberry jam evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Roll up the dough tightly from the jam-covered edge and seal it.
- Chill the rolled log for an additional 15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the log into 1/4-inch thick cookies and arrange them on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on wire racks before dusting with powdered sugar.
