Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Raspberry Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir continuously for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Allow to cool.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and milk; blend until smooth. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients to form dough.
  3. Assemble and Chill: Divide dough into two portions and roll each into a rectangle. Spread raspberry filling over each, roll into logs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  4. Slice and Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice logs into ½-inch cookies, place on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
