Raspberry Filling
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
1 package white chocolate chips
1/3 cup heavy cream
In a small microwave safe bowl, heat heavy cream until very hot but not boiling.
Stir in chocolate chips and allow to sit until chocolate is melted.
Stir in raspberry jam and set aside until cooled and thick.
Spread mixture onto the bottom of half of the cookies and top with remaining cookies.
Makes about 1 1/2 dozen sandwich cookies.
The line up.
I
strained some raspberry jam of
all the seeds but you can find seedless
jam if you don't want to go to the
trouble of straining it yourself.
Heat the cream then add the white
chocolate chips. Stir to melt.
Add the jam.
Stir to combine and set aside
while baking the cookies.
Combine the butter and the shortening.
Then add the sugars.
Then the egg and vanilla.
Finally the flour, cream of tartar
and the baking soda.
I used my 1" cookie scoop.
Then flattened with my
hand just a little bit.
Bake....
...then fill.
See?
So good!
