20 Italian Raspberry Sandwich Cookies Recipe You Won't Believe The Taste!

The Perfect Cookie Dough

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

To start off, cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Then, add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

The Filling

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of raspberry jam
• 1/4 cup of powdered sugar

While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling by mixing the raspberry jam and powdered sugar together in a bowl. This will give the filling a thick and spreadable consistency.

Assembling the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take one of the dough halves out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out circles of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the other dough half.

Next, take one of the dough circles and use a smaller cookie cutter to cut out a smaller circle from the center, creating a ring shape. Repeat with all of the dough circles.

Place the cookies on the baking sheet in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

The Final Touch

Once the cookies have cooled, it's time to assemble them. Take one cookie ring and spread a generous amount of the raspberry filling on the inside. Then, take another cookie ring and gently press it on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with all of the cookies.

For the finishing touch, dust the cookies with some powdered sugar using a sieve. This will add a beautiful touch and a hint of sweetness to the cookies.

And there you have it, the perfect Italian raspberry sandwich cookies. These cookies are not only delicious but also visually stunning, making them a perfect addition to any dessert table. So why not impress your loved ones with this easy and mouth-watering recipe? They will surely thank you for it.
