Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened for cookies
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar for cookies
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract for cookies
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt for cookies
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.33 cup cornstarch
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened for filling
  • 1.75 cup powdered sugar for filling
  • 3 tbsp raspberry jam, seedless if possible
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract for filling
  • 1.5 tbsp heavy cream or milk as needed for texture
  • 0.13 tsp fine sea salt a pinch, for filling

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
  • Beat 1 cup butter with 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Mix in 2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp salt until smooth.
  • Add flour and cornstarch. Blend on low just until a soft dough forms and clumps together.
  • Scoop 1-tbsp portions, roll into balls, and set 2 inches apart. Gently flatten to about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Bake 12–14 minutes, until edges are set and just turning pale gold. Cool 5 minutes, then move to a rack.
  • Cream 1/2 cup butter until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar.
  • Blend in raspberry jam, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Add cream as needed for a spreadable frosting.
  • Pair cookies by size. Pipe or spread about 1 tbsp filling on one cookie and cap with its partner.
  • Chill sandwiches 10 minutes to set. Serve or store airtight.

Notes

Variation: Add 2 tbsp finely crushed freeze-dried raspberries to the filling for extra berry punch. Storage: Keep cookies airtight at cool room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate up to 5 days. For crisp edges, assemble the day you serve.
