Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cookie cutter
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
  • Wire cooling racks

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Stir in the melted semi-sweet chocolate until fully incorporated.
  6. Divide the dough into two portions, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  9. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until set; let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  11. Spread a small amount of raspberry jam on the bottom of one cookie, then sandwich with another cookie.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to the dough. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. If the dough is too sticky, chill it for an additional 15-20 minutes. Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate for the best flavor.
