Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup favorite fillings (fruit jam or chocolate spread)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the butter mixture until a smooth dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half and roll each piece into rectangles about ¼ inch thick on a floured surface.
- Spread your chosen fillings evenly over each rectangle.
- Starting from one long side, carefully roll each rectangle into a log shape without squeezing too hard.
- Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once chilled, slice logs into ½-inch thick rounds and place them on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
