Ingredients Needed for This Chocolate Raspberry Sandwich Cookies Recipe

Here’s what you’ll need to make our delightful chocolate raspberry sandwich cookies recipe:

For the Chocolate Cookies:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup packed light brown sugar

For the Raspberry Filling:

• 1 cup seedless raspberry jam
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

How to Make This Chocolate Raspberry Sandwich Cookies Recipe

1. 1. Get Started: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

1. 2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

1. 3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

1. 4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

1. 5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

1. 6. Drop by Rounded Teaspoons: Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

1. 7. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set. Do not overbake; the cookies should still be soft.

1. 8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

1. 9. Make the Filling: While the cookies are cooling, prepare the raspberry filling. In a small bowl, combine the raspberry jam, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.

1. 10. Assemble: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of raspberry filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

1. 11. Enjoy: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Tips to Make This Chocolate Raspberry Sandwich Cookies Recipe

• Use Room Temperature Butter: Ensuring your butter is properly softened will help create a smooth and creamy dough.
• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to tough cookies. Mix until just combined.
• Chill Dough (Optional): For a slightly firmer cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
• High-Quality Jam: Using a high-quality seedless raspberry jam will give you the best flavor. Consider also trying our White Chocolate Raspberry Truffles for ultimate deliciousness.

Helpful Notes for This Chocolate Raspberry Sandwich Cookies Recipe

For the best results with this chocolate raspberry sandwich cookies recipe, use a good quality cocoa powder. Dutch-processed cocoa powder will give you a richer, darker chocolate flavor. If you can’t find seedless raspberry jam, you can strain regular raspberry jam through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
