These cookies are buttery with a sweet raspberry jam swirl running through the middle. The perfect combination of tangy fruit and sweet dough makes them a crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients
For the Dough:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour – The base of the dough, providing structure.
1 teaspoon baking powder – Helps the cookies rise slightly and gives them a soft texture.
1/2 teaspoon salt – Balances the sweetness of the dough.
1 cup unsalted butter (softened) – Provides richness and a tender texture to the cookies.
1 cup granulated sugar – Sweetens the dough.
1 large egg – Helps bind the dough and gives it structure.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds a nice flavor to the dough.
1 tablespoon milk – Adds a little moisture to the dough.
For the Raspberry Filling:
1/2 cup raspberry jam – The star ingredient for the swirl; it provides the fruity flavor and color.
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional) – Adds a bit of acidity to balance the sweetness of the jam and enhances the raspberry flavor.
