Raspberry Swirls

Prep Time 25 min
Cook Time 10 min
Yield 8 dozen

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 jar (12 ounces) seedless raspberry jam
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and extracts. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  2. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a 12x9-in. rectangle. Combine the jam, coconut and pecans; spread over rectangles. Carefully roll up, starting with the long ends, into tight jelly rolls. Wrap securely; refrigerate overnight or freeze for 2-3 hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°. Cut into 1/4-in. slices; place on greased baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Cool cookies on wire racks.
