Ingredients
about 2-1/2 dozen
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup 2% milk
FILLING:
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake until set, 6-8 minutes, and tops spring back when lightly touched. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For filling, in a large bowl, beat marshmallow creme and shortening until blended. Beat in jam and vanilla. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Spread on bottoms of half of the cookies; cover with remaining cookies.
