Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
• 1/4 cup raspberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Raspberry Cream Sandwich Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cookies cool, prepare the cream filling. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add the powdered sugar. Mix until well combined.
9. Fold in the fresh raspberries gently, being careful not to break them apart too much.
10. Once the cookies have cooled, spread a generous amount of the raspberry cream on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
11. Drizzle the raspberry sauce over the assembled cookies and garnish with additional fresh raspberries before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
• Don’t skip chilling the cookies before baking; it helps them hold their shape.
• Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor and texture.
• For a more intense raspberry flavor, consider folding in a few teaspoons of raspberry puree into the cream filling.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the cream cheese with mascarpone for a lighter filling.
• Add a splash of lemon juice to the cream filling for a citrusy twist.
• Try using other berries such as blueberries or strawberries in place of raspberries.
• For a chocolate twist, incorporate cocoa powder into the cookie dough.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert contrast.
• A cup of tea or coffee for a cozy pairing.
• Fresh fruit salad to complement the raspberry flavors.
• A dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
