Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by mixing the softened butter and powdered sugar in my mixing bowl until it’s light and fluffy. This step is crucial because it creates a light texture that absolutely melts in your mouth! Next, I gradually add in the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. The dough should feel soft yet slightly sticky. Once that’s done, I divide the dough into two equal parts. To one half, I gently fold in the raspberry puree, creating that gorgeous pink swirl.
