Raspberry Jam Filled Gingerbread Hearts: A Delicious Holiday Treat
Looking for a festive and delicious treat to serve during the holidays? Look no further than these Raspberry Jam Filled Gingerbread Hearts! These heart-shaped cookies are filled with sweet and tangy raspberry jam, and are sure to be a hit with everyone at your holiday gathering.
To make these cookies, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses and egg, and beat until well combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the dough, and place the hearts on the prepared baking sheet. Use a smaller heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the centers of half of the hearts.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cool, spread a small amount of raspberry jam on the solid hearts. Top with the cut-out hearts to create a sandwich cookie.
These Raspberry Jam Filled Gingerbread Hearts are the perfect holiday treat. They're soft and chewy, with just the right amount of spice and sweetness. Plus, the raspberry jam filling adds a delicious tangy flavor that perfectly complements the gingerbread. Serve them up at your next holiday gathering and watch them disappear!
