Ingredients
1 Cup Crofter’s Organic Seedless Raspberry Premium Fruit Spread
1 Cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
1 1/2 Cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 1/4 Cups Granulated Sugar
1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
3/4 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Espresso Powder
4 oz Semi-sweet Chocolate (melted and cooled)
2 Eggs
2 Tbsp Milk (whole milk or 2% is best)
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Cups All-purpose Flour
Powdered Sugar (garnish)
Directions
- Place the unsalted butter in a mixing bowl. Next, beat the butter using a hand mixer or a standing mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add in cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder. Mix until combined.
- Next, add in the chocolate, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Lastly, add in the flour and mix until the flour is completely incorporated. Chill the dough for 1 hour in the fridge.
- Once the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a floured surface, roll dough out to 1/4” thick. Cut out large star shapes with your cookie cutter and place them about 2” apart on the baking tray.
- Using the small star cookie cutter, cut out the centers of half of the unbaked cookies (these will be the tops of the cookie sandwiches).
- Bake for 9-10 minutes (or until the edges are just firm). Allow to cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Spoon about 2 tsp of Crofter’s Organic Seedless Raspberry Premium Fruit Spread onto the centers of the bottom sandwich cookie. Next, place the smaller star cookie on top to create a sandwich cookie. Repeat process.
- Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy! Store in the fridge.
