Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing on low until smooth, about 1 minute.
  3. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and salt until the dough comes together without overmixing.
  4. For the raspberry swirl, purée fresh raspberries in a blender or warm raspberry jam in the microwave.
  5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle and spread the raspberry mixture on top.
  6. Roll the dough tightly into a log shape, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the chilled log into rounds and arrange on a baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
