Best Raspberry Swirl Cookies Recipes

RASPBERRY SWIRL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread coconut and walnuts onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until coconut and walnuts are toasted, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven and finely chop walnuts.
• Combine raspberry jam, coconut, and walnuts together in a bowl.
• Divide cookie dough in half. Roll 1/2 the dough into a 12x7-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread half the jam mixture over rolled dough to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Carefully roll dough, jelly roll-style, around filling; pinch side seam to seal roll, keeping ends open. Repeat with remaining dough and jam mixture. Wrap each dough roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from rolls.
• Cut dough into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges just begin to brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Cool cookies for 1 minute on the baking sheet and transfer to wire racks.
• Whisk confectioners' sugar, water, and almond extract together in a bowl until smooth; drizzle over warm cookies.

COCONUT AND RASPBERRY SWIRL COOKIES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Combine the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed then gradually increase the speed to medium, until lightly and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• With the machine running on medium speed, add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until thoroughly combined after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, as necessary. Add the vanilla and almond extracts.
• Slowly add in the flour and salt with the machine running on low speed and mix until the dough comes together and no streaks of flour remain, about 1 minute. Add the coconut and mix on low speed just until combined, about 30 seconds.
• Fold in the raspberries with a silicone or rubber spatula. They will begin to break but try not to overwork the dough to keep them intact as much as possible.
• Scoop the dough with a medium (2-inch) ice cream scoop, flattening the dough against the bowl, and place 6 scoops at least 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake 1 sheet of cookies at a time for 6 minutes then rotate the sheet and continue baking until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown and the tops have set, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Serve or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until smooth. Add sugar and beat until blended. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture and beat until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball. Flatten and shape into rectangle. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Soften dough slightly before rolling out.)
• Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 13x10-inch rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Mix jam and coconut in small bowl to blend. Spread over dough, leaving 1/2-inch plain border. Sprinkle nuts evenly over jam mixture. Starting at one long side, roll up dough jellyroll style into 13x2 1/2-inch log. Wrap in plastic and chill 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Unwrap cookie log; cut 1/2 inch off each end and discard. Cut remaining log crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Arrange rounds, cut side down, on prepared sheets, spacing 1 inch apart; reshape into neat rounds, if desired. Bake cookies until edges and bottom are golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks and cool.

• Unwrap and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place 2-inches apart on greased cookies sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or just before cookies begin to brown.
