Equipment

Ingredients

2 ¼ Cups all-purpose flour
1 Teaspoon baking powder
¼ Teaspoon salt
1 Cup butter unsalted
¾ Cup granulated sugar
¾ Cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ Cups chocolate chips bittersweet or milk

For the Buttercream

1 ½ Cups icing sugar
½ Cup butter unsalted
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons milk
⅔ Cup jam raspberry

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a pair of baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, add flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
With an electric mixer, beat butter until creamy. Add sugars and beat again until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, and then the flour mixture. Beat.
Stir in chocolate chips until combined.
Roll 1-Teaspoon balls of dough and place on baking sheets.
Cook for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes before placing onto cooling racks.
In the meantime, make buttercream. Cream butter and icing sugar until creamy. Add vanilla and milk, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Put icing into piping bag and pipe icing on edge of cookie. Spoon jam into the middle and place another cookie on top.

Notes

Cool cookies fully before filling: This keeps the buttercream from melting.
Use a piping bag: It gives a neater, more consistent finish.
Chill before serving: A short chill helps set the filling and keeps the sandwich intact.
