Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened butter and powdered sugar. Beat together until creamy and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract and salt until completely blended.
  4. Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until a soft, crumbly dough forms.
  5. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  6. Spoon a generous amount of raspberry jam into the center of the rolled dough and swirl gently with a knife or spatula.
  7. Cut out desired shapes from the dough and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
