Method
 

How to Make Buttery Raspberry Swirl Cookies
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy and light in color, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Mix in the large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined.
  5. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion between two sheets of parchment paper into rectangles about ¼-inch thick.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the raspberry jam with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth.
  7. Spread the raspberry jam mixture evenly over each rectangle of dough, then carefully roll them up tightly like a jelly roll.
  8. Refrigerate the logs for 2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the chilled logs into ½-inch thick rounds and place them on a baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
