INGREDIENTS
These yummy Raspberry Pecan Pinwheel Cookies have been made by Nanna Anna every year as long as I can remember. Every year she bakes and bakes and bakes and gives us all little pails filled with her cookie sweets.

This year, since we are not traveling to NC, we won’t get any of them for the first time. I decided make these for my family as little surprise. Everyone was so excited to see them. Milk was grabbed and they were devoured.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam

3/4 cup finely chopped pecans I like to put mine in the food processor for a few seconds to get them really fine.

DIRECTIONS

Mix flour and baking powder together

Beat butter, sugar and egg together.

Stir in vanilla

Gradually add flour mixture, stirring until combined well. The dough is a dense dough. I roll it around and kneed it a little before rolling it out.

Roll out dough between two pieces of parchment or wax paper to about a 12 x 10 rectangle.
