Raspberry Coconut Cookies
My favorite dessert flavor is anything berry like our triple berry pie, very berry dump cake, and raspberry crescent rolls. These raspberry coconut cookies are a delicious raspberry jam filled cookie with bits of a sweet coconut flavor and a sweet cream filling. It’s a decadent little cookie that is simple to put together and makes a great treat for Valentines Day, cookie exchanges and just when you need a sweet treat.
This treat starts with a delicious cookie that has a touch of shredded coconut in the batter and are cooked into perfect little cookie sandwiches.
How do you make Sandwich Cookies?
Once you have mixed your dough ingredients together you will want to form them into 1 inch balls. Once placed on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper you will want to flatten the mounds of dough with a glass that has been dipped into a small amount of flour.
What kind of filling do you use in your raspberry coconut cookies?
You only need a few simple ingredients to make the filling for these raspberry coconut cookies. It’s a great filling for other cookie sandwiches because it’s not too sweet and pairs well with multiple different kinds of flavors.
- Butter
- Confectioners sugar
- Milk
- Vanilla extract
Can I use different flavors of jelly/jam in my sandwich cookies?
While using raspberry preserves/jam is my personal favorite you can most certainly use whatever flavor you like best! I personally think a strawberry or blueberry would taste just as delicious with a coconut flavor.
