Raspberry Swirls Recipe

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar seedless raspberry jam
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs and extracts; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and chill the dough for at least 2 hours.
  2. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Combine jam, coconut and pecans; spread over rectangles. Carefully roll up, starting with the long end, into a tight jelly roll. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or freeze for 2-3 hours.
  3. Cut into 1/4-in. slices; place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool cookies on wire racks.
