Ingredients
-
1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
-
2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
-
4 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 cup (120g) unsweetened cocoa powder
-
3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
-
1/2 cup sweet raspberry jam
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
-
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
-
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten it slightly. Place 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center, then fold the dough over to enclose the jam completely, shaping it into a ball.
-
Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
-
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cookies have puffed and cracked.
-
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
-
Serve and enjoy the rich chocolate with the sweet raspberry filling.
