Yield: 24 Servings (24 Cookies)
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter (softened).
½ cup granulated sugar.
2 cups all-purpose flour.
½ tsp vanilla extract.
½ cup raspberry jam.
¼ cup white chocolate (melted).
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract, then gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness.
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the dough.
Carefully roll the dough into a log and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Slice the dough log into ¼ inch rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
Drizzle the cooled cookies with melted white chocolate for an elegant finish.
Notes
Refrigerating the dough before slicing ensures that the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
For a decorative touch, add a sprinkle of powdered sugar after the white chocolate drizzle sets.
