Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, beating until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a log approximately 25 cm (10 inches) long and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart.
Using your index finger or the back of a spoon, press a shallow groove down the center of each log. Be careful not to press all the way through to the bottom.
Spoon the raspberry jam into the groove of each log, spreading it evenly along the length.
Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the logs cool for about 10 minutes. While still warm, use a sharp knife to slice the logs diagonally into 2.5 cm (1-inch) wide strips.
Transfer the strips to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the Raspberry Strippers lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
