These Raspberry Swirl Cookies are a delightful treat with a beautiful swirl of tart raspberry jam baked into a soft, buttery cookie. Perfect for any occasion!
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the dough in half. Place one half on a piece of plastic wrap, flatten into a disk, and wrap tightly. Repeat with the second half. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a rectangle, approximately 10x12 inches.
Spread half of the raspberry jam evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border.
Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough. Slice the roll into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Place the slices onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Repeat steps 7-10 with the second disk of dough and remaining jam.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
