Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup fresh raspberries (or raspberry preserves)
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
1 tablespoon water (for glaze)
Red food coloring (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Roll and Fill: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into strips, and place a small dollop of raspberries or raspberry preserves on one end of each strip. Fold over and twist to form a love twist shape.
Bake: Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Add food coloring if desired for a vibrant touch.
Glaze the Twists: Drizzle the raspberry glaze over the cooled twists. Allow to set before serving.
