Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 c butter
1 1/4 c powdered sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 Tbsp shortening
2 tsp raspberry extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Sift together flour and salt, set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Gradually add in the flour mixture, mixing until blended.
  • 2. Fill a cookie press with dough and press cookies about 1-inch apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
  • 3. When cookies are cool, melt chocolate and shortening then add raspberry extract to taste. Note: the chocolate may seize up when you start adding the extract. You can add more extract or shortening to remedy this. You may also need to warm it up more to get it nice and melted because the extract will also cool the chocolate off a little.
  • 4. Spread the chocolate mix on a cookie and sandwich another cookie on top. After sandwiches are made, drizzle remaining chocolate over the sandwiches.
