Description
Make rich chocolate cookies filled with a sweet raspberry cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for filling
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, for filling
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam
- 1 teaspoon raspberry extract, optional, for filling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the filling, beat the powdered sugar and softened butter together until smooth.
- Stir in the raspberry jam and raspberry extract, if using, until well combined.
- Once cookies are cool, spread a layer of the raspberry filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
Notes
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
- If the filling is too soft, chill it for 15 minutes before assembling the cookies.
- Store assembled cookies in an airtight container.
