Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt*
- ⅔ cup butter (softened)
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
If using unsalted butter then add ¼ teaspoon of salt.
EXTRAS
- ½-⅔ cup jam of choice, Nutella or pie filling (or a mixture)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bow whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand up mixer beat the butter and sugar for 3-4 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat to combine, approximately 1 minute.
- Add the whisked ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat on low just to combine. Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface, form into a ball, divide into 2 parts. Roll each part into a log approximately 10 inches (25cm) long. Place each log on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Make an indentation down the centre, lengthwise of each log, using either a spoon or your thumb. Fill the indentation with the jam, Nutella or even pie or fruit filling. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes. The logs are done when the bottom of the log starts to turn a light golden. Remove from the oven, let sit 5-10 minutes. then cut with a sharp knife about ½-¾ inch (1 cm) diagonal slices. Move to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
