On floured wax paper, roll dough to a 12-in. square. To roll, gently lift the wax paper to guide the roll. Spread with jam mixture. Roll into spiral; press seam to seal. Wrap in plastic wrap; Refrigerate at least 4 hr. so it\s firm for slicing.

Line cookie sheets with ungreased parchment paper or lightly greased foil, to prevent sticking. Slice cookies 1/4-in. thick. Place slices on prepared cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8 - 10 min. or until golden brown on edges. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 min. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
