Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
- Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture, combining until a dough forms.
- Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out shapes using a heart-shaped cookie cutter and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- Prepare the Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine whipped heavy cream with raspberry preserves gently. Adjust sweetness if desired.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of the raspberry cream filling on the flat side of half of the cookies. Top with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh raspberries before serving. Enjoy your Cupid’s Raspberry Cream Sandwiches with a cup of tea or coffee!
