Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons raspberry jam
- Melted chocolate (for dipping)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line cookie sheets with baking parchment.
-
Cream butter on medium speed until light, about 2 minutes.
-
Add sugar and blend together.
-
Add vanilla (or zest), then egg and egg yolk; mix well.
-
Sift flour over batter and incorporate. Batter will be thick.
-
Spoon batter into a pastry bag or decorator fitted with a 1/2 inch round tip or medium star tip.
-
Pipe 3 inch lengths of dough, about 2 inches apart, onto cookie sheets.
-
Bake cookies in the center of the oven for 8 to 9 minutes, until golden brown around the edges.
-
Let cookies stand on cookie sheets for 2 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
-
While cookies are cooling, prepare filling. In a saucepan, melt the jam with the lemon juice until it comes to a simmer.
-
Brush the jam over the flat side of half the cookies and top with the remaining cookies, flat side touching the jam.
-
Let cookies remain on racks in a cool place until jam has set.
-
Dip one end of each cookie into melted chocolate and place on wax paper until chocolate hardens.
-
If desired, sprinkle chocolate with chocolate or colored sprinkles (jimmies) before letting the chocolate set up.
