How to Make Raspberry Dream Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Divide the dough into three equal portions.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion of dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a 2 1/2 inch round cookie cutter with crimped edges to cut out cookies.
- Place cookies about an inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges just begin to brown.
- Remove cookies from baking sheets and let them cool completely on wire racks.
- Spread 1/2 cup raspberry jam on one cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
- Repeat with remaining cookies.
- For the icing: Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until you reach a drizzling consistency. Add more milk if needed.
- Drizzle the icing over the assembled raspberry jam cookies.
