Almond-Raspberry Sandwich Cookies
INGREDIENTS
Nonstick cooking spray
1 box Pillsbury™ Moist Supreme® White Cake Mix
1/3 cup Baking Sticks Butter Flavor All-Vegetable Shortening
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup Red Raspberry Preserves
1/2 cup Pillsbury™ Creamy Supreme® Chocolate Fudge Flavored Frosting
PREPARATION DIRECTIONS
Step 1
HEAT oven to 375°F. Coat baking sheet with no-stick cooking spray. Beat cake mix and shortening in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until coarse crumbs form, about 2 minutes. Blend in water, egg and almond extract on low speed until dough forms.
Step 2
ROLL dough on well floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with floured cookie cutter into 2-1/2-inch circles. Use a 3/4-inch round canape cutter to cut and remove a small circle of dough from half of the dough circles. Place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3
SPRINKLE powdered sugar on top side of all cookies with cut-out centers. Spread about 1 teaspoon preserves evenly on bottom side of all whole round cookies. Top with a cut-out cookie to form sandwiches.
Step 4
PLACE frosting in decorating bag fitted with medium star tip. Pipe a small star of frosting on top of each cookie.
