The taste of raspberries and walnuts really comes through in each bite and they’re so much fun to make!

Ingredients: (Yield: 3½ dozen)

• ½ cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ cup seedless raspberry jam
• ¾ cup finely chopped walnuts

Method:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.

Roll out dough between waxed paper into a 12-inch square. Remove top piece of waxed paper. Spread dough with jam and sprinkle with nuts. Roll up tightly jelly-roll style; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.

Unwrap dough and cut into ¼-inch slices. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 9-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
