First Order Raspberry Sandwich Cookies
you’ll need:
– 2-inch First Order cookie cutter
– raspberry jam

ingredients:
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup cocoa powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– pinch of salt
– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 egg

In a bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar.

Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture.

Slowly add the flour mixture until combined.

Mix on medium high until the dough pulls away from the bowl.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge.

When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prep baking sheets with silpats or parchment.

Roll out the dough to 3/8” thick. Flour the First Order cookie cutter* and cut out the shapes. Move the cookies to the prepped baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.

Add raspberry jelly to one cookie, then press a second cookie on top to sandwich together and serve.
