Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by creaming unsalted butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Gradually add in all-purpose flour while mixing on low speed until the dough begins to form; do not overwork.
  3. Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  4. Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper into a larger rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick, and spread raspberry preserves over it.
  5. Starting from one end of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly into a log shape and wrap in parchment paper. Refrigerate for another hour.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Once chilled, unwrap the cookie log and slice it into 1/4-inch rounds. Arrange them on prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
