Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Cream together 8 oz of softened butter and 1/2 cup of cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp of kosher salt gradually until a soft dough forms.
  3. Shape into a flattened disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 10x30 inches and about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Spread 1/3 cup of seedless raspberry jam over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  6. Roll the dough tightly from the jam-covered edge into a log and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Slice the log into 1/4-inch thick cookies and bake for 17-20 minutes until edges are golden.
