BUTTER BALL COOKIES

2 cups (260 grams) all purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

1/2 cup (100 grams) white granulated sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Filling:

1/2 cup raspberry jam/mixed fruit jam

Garnish:

1 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated white sugar

In a bowl whisk the flour with the salt.

In another beat the butter until smooth . Add the sugar and beat until creamy and smooth . Add in the vanilla . Gently stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, or until firm.

Roll the dough into small balls that are about the size of a lemon. Place the balls of dough on a parchment lined baking pan and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This will make the dough very firm which will prevent the cookies from spreading during baking.

Preheat the oven to 375 degree F (190 degrees C) and place the oven rack in the center of the oven.

When the balls of dough are firm, remove from freezer. Bake in preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are firm but not brown. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

Place the sugar on a large plate. While the cookies are still a little warm, lightly roll each cookie in the sugar. Place on a wire rack to finish cooling. Then take one cookie and spread a little raspberry jam on the underside of the cookie. Top with a second cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with the rest of the cookies.

SWIRL COOKIES

70g butter, soft
100g icing sugar, sifted
150g plain flour, sifted
10g cocoa powder
1 egg

Method:

In a bowl add the soft butter and whisk until light. Then add the egg and whisk further.
Divide the flour and icing sugar together in three portions and add each portion one at a time gradually whisking til it all comes together in a form of a dough.

Knead the dough on a floured surface. Then form a ball and cut in half so you have two doughs instead of one. Keep one dough on the side and the other add to it the cocoa powder and knead till all mixed.

Flour the work space your using and with a roller roll out the white dough. Then do the same to the cocoa dough but making sure the cocoa dough is a little less bigger than the white dough.

Lay the cocoa dough on top of the white dough and slowly using cling film beneath the white layer roll the dough to form a log shape. When log shape appears twist the 2 ends of the cling film and chill the dough for 30 minutes until firm.

With a sharp knife after 30 minutes cut the cookies slicing down wards placing them on a greased or lined with parchment paper tray.
