My old neighbor made chocolate raspberry sandwich cookies as part of her Christmas cookie platter every year. I loved them and developed my own version of them. These are now a Christmas cookie staple in my house. But they would be good any time of the year.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Spritz cookies are a Christmas-time staple, and these chocolate raspberry sandwich cookies need to be on your cookie tray. The buttery and crisp spritz cookie has a rich chocolate filling that has a hint of raspberry flavoring. A chocolate drizzle on top is a wonderful final touch. The cookies do bake quickly, so keep your eye on them.
