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 mixing bowl, cream together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually mix in sifted flour and kosher salt until a cohesive dough forms.
- Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a rectangle (10×30 inches). Spread raspberry jam over the surface, leaving a border at one edge.
- Roll the dough into a log from the jam-covered end and seal it. Refrigerate for an additional 15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the log into 1/4-inch thick cookies using a sharp knife or thread.
- Arrange cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 17-20 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
