Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and gradually mix in the flour until the dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the dough.
Carefully roll the dough into a log, ensuring the jam stays inside. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 30 minutes to firm up.
Slice the dough log into ¼-inch rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Drizzle with melted white chocolate for a beautiful finish.

Notes

Jam alternatives: Swap raspberry jam with other fruit jams like strawberry, blueberry, or apricot for a variety of flavors.
Chocolate alternatives: Use dark or milk chocolate for the drizzle if you prefer a less sweet option.
Additional toppings: A dusting of powdered sugar after the chocolate drizzle sets adds a festive touch.
