**Raspberry Rugula Cookie**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
– 1 egg yolk
– 2 tablespoons sour cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup raspberry jam
– Powdered sugar (for dusting)
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare Dough:**
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter pieces to the dry ingredients and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2. **Mix Wet Ingredients:**
– In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the flour and butter mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
3. **Form a Dough Ball:**
– Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and gently knead it until it forms a cohesive ball. Divide the dough into two equal portions for easier handling. Shape each portion into a flat disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4. **Preheat Oven:**
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. **Roll out the Dough:**
– Take one disk of dough out of the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
6. **Assembly:**
– Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam over the dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges. Carefully roll up the dough tightly to create a log shape.
7. **Cut the Cookies:**
– Using a sharp knife, slice the log into individual cookies about 1/2 inch wide. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
8. **Bake:**
– Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown.
9. **Cool and Dust with Powdered Sugar:**
– Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
Enjoy these delightful Raspberry Rugula Cookies with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a cozy treat that’s sure to impress. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply looking for a sweet indulgence, these cookies are a perfect choice. Happy baking!
