Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons 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 medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
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 are cooling, prepare the raspberry cream filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
9. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
10. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of raspberry cream filling on the flat side of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.
11. Drizzle with raspberry sauce and garnish with additional fresh raspberries before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for a smooth filling.
• Don’t overmix the cookie dough to keep the cookies tender.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely before adding the filling to avoid melting it.
• Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture.

Easy Variations

• Substitute blueberries or strawberries for raspberries for a different fruity twist.
• Add a splash of lemon juice to the cream filling for a zesty kick.
• Use almond extract instead of vanilla for a unique flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert pairing.
• A cup of hot tea or coffee to complement the sweet flavors.
• A fruit salad for a fresh and light side.
