Ingredients

Scale

For the Raspberry Filling:

  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1/4 cup raspberry jam (high-quality or seedless)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Chocolate Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

For the Chocolate Coating:

  • 8 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, melted
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for smoother coating)

Instructions

  1. Make the Raspberry Filling: In a small saucepan, combine fresh raspberries, raspberry jam, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and raspberries break down, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely to set the filling.
  2. Prepare the Chocolate Cookie Dough: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
  3. Assemble the Cookies: Flatten about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough in your palm, place 1/2 teaspoon of cooled raspberry filling in center. Cover with another small piece of dough, seal edges by pinching, roll into a ball. Place on baking sheet 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges set but centers remain soft. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to wire rack.
  4. Coat the Cookies in Chocolate: Melt chocolate in microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Stir in coconut oil for shine if using. Dip cooled cookies’ tops into chocolate, allow excess to drip off, and place back on wire rack. Let chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate to speed setting.

Notes

  • Using seedless raspberry jam creates a smoother filling texture.
  • Chilling the dough prevents spreading and makes it easier to handle the filled cookies.
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips in the dough enhance the chocolate intensity but are optional.
  • Coconut oil in the chocolate coating gives a glossy finish and smoother texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
