Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will ensure that the cookies don’t stick to the pan.
2. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together to make sure they are evenly combined. Set aside.
3. Cream the butter and sugar.
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2 minutes. Once the butter and sugar are creamed together, add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be soft, but not sticky. Once the dough is formed, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
5. Roll out the dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles with a cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass. Place the circles on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Fill the cookies.
Spoon a teaspoon of raspberry jam onto half of the circles. Place the remaining circles on top of the jam-filled circles, pressing the edges to seal.
7. Bake the cookies.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until they are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.
