Raspberry Swirl Shortbread Cookies

Divide the dough in half. Flatten one portion slightly and drizzle a small amount of raspberry jam on top. Fold the dough gently to create a swirl—do not overmix.

Roll into a log or form small balls and place them on the baking sheet. Slightly flatten with your palm or the bottom of a glass.

Repeat with the remaining dough and jam.

Bake for 14–16 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.

Let cool completely before serving.

Serving and Storage Tips:

Serve with tea, coffee, or a glass of milk.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Variations:

Swap raspberry jam for strawberry, blackberry, or apricot.

Add a touch of lemon zest to the dough for a citrusy contrast.

Drizzle with white chocolate once cooled for an extra decadent touch.
