01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the coconut and walnuts out on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5 to 7 minutes, until they’re golden and fragrant. Once they’ve cooled a bit, chop the walnuts finely and mix them together with the toasted coconut and raspberry jam in a bowl.

Step 2
Next, divide your cookie dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half into a rectangle about 12 by 7 inches. Spread half of the jam mixture over the dough, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges. Carefully roll it up jelly-roll style, pinch the seam to seal it, but leave the ends open. Repeat this with the other half of the dough and the remaining filling.

Step 3
Wrap each dough roll tightly in plastic wrap and pop them in the fridge for about an hour so they firm up. When you’re ready, take the rolls out, unwrap them, and slice them into thin rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Place the slices on a baking sheet, giving them a little space to spread.

Step 4
Bake the cookies for 7 to 9 minutes, just until the edges start to turn golden. Let them cool for a minute on the sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. While they’re still warm, whisk together some powdered sugar, a splash of water, and a bit of almond extract to make a smooth glaze, then drizzle it over the cookies for a sweet finishing touch.
