I love sugar cookies so I figured sandwiching a couple of cookies
around some kind of filling would be good, too! Aaaaannnd...I was right!
I used raspberry jam but you could use any kind you like. I didn't have
any seedless jam so all I did was heat up enough jam in the microwave
so when it was strained it would equal about 1/2 cup. This cookie recipe
is so simple. No rolling, no chilling the dough. Just mix and bake!
These would be so fun at a shower or a tea. Really good and easy, too! You should have seen IT Guy's smile when he tasted these! He was pretty happy!
Raspberry Filled Sugar Cookies
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tarter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place parchment paper on two cookie pans.
Cream sugars with butter and shortening.
Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
Add dry ingredients and mix well.
Scoop into 1 inch balls and place on prepared pans.
Flatten dough balls with the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand.
Bake for about 10 minutes.
Allow to cool. Fill with raspberry filling. (recipe follows)
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.
Welcome!
Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!
