Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture.
- Divide the dough into three equal parts.
- In the first part, stir in the cocoa powder. In the second part, mix in the strawberry jam. Leave the third part plain.
- Roll each portion into logs. Place the logs side by side and gently roll them together to form a swirl.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Baking
- Slice the dough into rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra touch of flavor, consider using flavored or homemade jam instead of store-bought strawberry jam. Ensure that the butter is softened properly for easy creaming, which helps create a fluffy texture. Keep an eye on them while baking; ovens can vary in temperature.
