Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it’s hot and ready for baking.

7. Shape the Cookies: On ungreased baking sheets, press the dough into desired shapes (like stars or trees) with the cookie press. Leave about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
8. Add Sprinkles: If you’d like, sprinkle colored sprinkles on top of each cookie for a festive touch.

Raspberry Swirl Spritz Cookies are a delightful twist on the traditional spritz cookie, offering a burst of tart raspberry flavor swirled into a buttery base. These vibrant cookies not only taste amazing but also look stunning on any holiday cookie platter, making them a perfect treat for festive gatherings or gifting. With their pretty pink swirls and sweet aroma, Raspberry Swirl Spritz Cookies are certain to charm everyone who tries them.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to guarantee that your cookies bake evenly.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer to cream the mixture on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes light and fluffy.
3. Add the Egg and Vanilla: Crack the egg into the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until the egg is fully incorporated into the creamed mixture, resulting in a smooth consistency.
4. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This guarantees that the leavening agent and salt are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
5. Mix the Dough: Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined, taking care not to overmix the dough, as this can lead to tougher cookies.
6. Separate the Dough: Divide the cookie dough into two equal portions. In one portion, gently fold in the raspberry jam until well combined, resulting in a pink-colored dough.
7. Prepare the Cookie Press: If you have a cookie press, fill it with half of the plain dough, then scoop the raspberry dough into the press as well, guaranteeing you have a mix of both.
8. Pipe the Cookies: Pipe the dough onto ungreased baking sheets in your desired shapes, ensuring you alternate between the plain and raspberry dough to create a lovely swirl effect. Space the cookies about an inch apart.
9. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
10. Cool and Dust: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, dust them lightly with powdered sugar for an added festive touch. Enjoy your delicious Raspberry Swirl Spritz Cookies!
