Elegant sandwich cookies with raspberry jam and chocolate topping - ideal party dessert.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup hazelnuts, toasted, skin removed and and ground*
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 ounce semisweet baking chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 1 ounce semisweet baking chocolate, melted
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed or a spoon to beat together the butter and sugar until creamy. Mix in the vanilla and eggs until smooth. Add all the remaining ingredients except for the jam and melted chocolate, then beat until everything is well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour; it will be sticky.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Divide the dough into quarters and roll each quarter to a 1/8-inch thickness between sheets of waxed paper, keeping the remaining dough refrigerated. Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out the cookies, dipping the cutter in baking cocoa for extra flavor if desired. To create a fun design, cut a small shape from the center of some cookies. Transfer the cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 7 to 9 minutes until golden brown. Then, transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  • Place a dollop of 1/2 teaspoon jam on the underside of a whole cookie, then sandwich it with a cutout cookie or another whole cookie. Drizzle with melted chocolate and allow it to set until firm. Yield: 3 dozen delicious sandwich cookies.
