Jam Roly-poly Cookies

100g softened butter

100g caster sugar

250g plain flour

¼ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp almond extract (optional )

seedless raspberry jam

Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add egg, vanilla and almond extracts and beat well.
Add flour, baking powder, salt and mix together on a slow speed until it forms into a dough.
Wrap and place in fridge for an hour.
Preheat oven 180° C, 160° C Fan, Gas 4 and line a baking tray.
Lightly flour surface, and roll out dough into a rectangle approx. 12x 10 inches.
Stir jam so that it is spreadable, and spread over dough, leaving a ½ inch gap at both longer edges. Do not use too much jam as it will squish out when rolling.
Starting at one of the longer edges, roll the dough into a tight roll (like a swiss roll), try to keep the roll as tight as possible.
Cut the roll into slices approx..1 cm wide, and place them on your baking sheet.
Bake for approx. 8- 10 mins until edges just turning brown.
Leave to cool on baking sheets.
