How to Make Heavenly Raspberry Lemon Swirl Cookies

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Add Lemon Flavor: Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice until fully incorporated.
  5. Prepare the Raspberry Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the raspberry jam and lemon juice to soften it for swirling.
  6. Scoop the Cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  7. Add Raspberry Swirl: Use a toothpick or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each cookie. Spoon a small amount of the raspberry mixture into the indentation and gently swirl it into the dough.
  8. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Your Heavenly Raspberry Lemon Swirl Cookies are ready to be enjoyed!

Tips

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh lemon juice and high-quality raspberry jam.
  • Chill the Dough: If the dough is too soft to handle, refrigerate it for 30 minutes before baking.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Different Berries: You can substitute raspberry jam with blueberry, strawberry, or blackberry for different flavors.
  • Add Nuts: Chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts can add a delightful crunch to the cookies.

Make a Healthier Version

  • Use whole wheat flour for added fiber and nutrients.
  • Reduce the sugar or use a natural sweetener for a lighter option.
