White Chocolate Raspberry Slices

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup raspberry jam
• 2 oz white chocolate, chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 12 by 15-inch baking dish and set aside.

2. In a large bowl on medium speed, beat butter, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in flour, then beat until dough comes together.

3. Divide dough into thirds. On a floured surface, with the palms of your hands, roll each portion into a 9-inch long rope about 1-inch thick. Place ropes 3-inches apart on buttered baking sheet. Press your finger into dough to make 1/2-inch wide indentations at 1-inch intervals along each rope. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon jam into each indentation.

4. Bake in a preheated 350° oven until edges are lightly browned, about 12-15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet.

5. Melt white chocolate according to package directions. Using a spoon or fork, drizzle melted chocolate across the cookie logs on an angle. Chill until chocolate is firm to touch, about 1 hour, then cut ropes diagonally into 12 slices per rope.
