Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 90 ml Dark molasses
- 1 unit Large egg
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 150 grams Raspberry jam
- 20 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the molasses and egg to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
Scoop 1-tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Then, roll each ball in the additional granulated sugar to coat evenly.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and slightly cracked on top.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam on the flat side of half of the cookies.
Top each jam-covered cookie with another cookie, flat side down, to form a sandwich.
Dust the finished sandwich cookies lightly with powdered sugar for a festive touch.
Serve immediately or store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
