Description

A rich, chocolatey sandwich cookie recipe featuring a creamy filling and a vibrant ruby berry drizzle, perfect for a comforting family dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend)
  • 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, Dutch-processed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (226g), softened (or margarine)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese (113g), softened (full-fat or light)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen berries (150g) (raspberries or strawberries)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, beat 0.5 cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, beating until just combined.
  3. Combine Dry & Wet: In a separate bowl, whisk 1.5 cups flour, 0.75 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. (If dough seems too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk or water).
  4. Chill & Bake Cookies: Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into 1 tablespoon balls, flatten slightly, and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
  5. Prepare Creamy Filling: While cookies cool, beat 4 oz softened cream cheese, 0.5 cup softened butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
  6. Make Ruby Berry Drizzle: In a small saucepan, simmer 1 cup berries and 1 tablespoon sugar over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Mash with a fork and then strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smooth drizzle.
  7. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread about 1 tablespoon creamy filling onto the flat side of one cooled cookie. Top with another cookie, gently pressing to create the sandwich. Drizzle generously with the ruby berry sauce.

Notes

For efficiency, prepare the berry drizzle and filling while cookies bake and cool. For variations, add 0.5 teaspoon peppermint extract for a minty flavor, espresso powder for deeper chocolate, or use different seasonal berries. Healthier options include light cream cheese and reduced sugar. This recipe can be made gluten-free with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend, or dairy-free using plant-based butter and dairy-free cream cheese.
