Raspberry Swirls
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) jar seedless raspberry jam
1 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs
and extracts; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and
salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and
chill the dough for at least 2 hours. Divide dough in
half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into
a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Combine jam, coconut and
pecans; spread over rectangles. Carefully roll up,
starting with the long end, into a tight jelly roll.
Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or freeze
for 2-3 hours. Cut into 1/4-in. slices; place on greased
baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes
or until lightly browned. Cool cookies on wire racks.
