Step-by-Step Instructions
1.Make the raspberry filling first
The raspberry filling must be prepared before anything else. The saucepan needs raspberries and sugar and lemon juice. The berries should be cooked for 5 to 7 minutes until they reach their juicy state and start to bubble. The cornstarch slurry must be added to the mixture which needs to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until it reaches a jam-like consistency. The mixture should be heated until boiling point then it should be strained through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds which will make the filling smoother. The dough should be refrigerated for this step because it makes stuffing easier.
Prepare the brownie cookie dough
The process begins with making brownie cookie dough. The dark chocolate needs to be chopped into pieces and melted with butter in a microwave-safe bowl which should be heated for 30-second intervals until the mixture becomes smooth. The mixture should be allowed to cool down until it reaches a slightly cooler stage. The large bowl requires eggs and sugar to be whisked vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes until they reach a pallid state with slight thickening. The vanilla needs to be added together with the chocolate mixture that has cooled down. The mixture needs flour and cocoa powder and baking powder and salt to be sifted into it. The batter should be folded until it reaches the required state which will produce a thick and glossy mixture that resembles brownie batter. The dough requires cooling for 30 minutes which can last until the next day because this method makes the dough simpler to work with.
Assemble and fill the cookies
The process begins with making cookies which will be assembled and filled. The oven needs to be set to 350°F (175°C) while two baking sheets receive parchment paper for lining. The dough needs to be chilled before you take 1½ tablespoons which you need to press down into a disc shape using your palm. The center needs to be filled with 1 to 1½ teaspoons of raspberry filling which has cooled down. The top part needs another flattened disc of dough which must be sealed by rolling into a ball after you seal the edges. The baking sheet should have the cookies placed at 2-inch distances because the cookies will extend slightly during baking. The recipe includes chocolate chips and freeze-dried raspberry pieces which you should press onto the surface to create an indulgent dessert.
Bake to perfection
The baking process begins. The baking time requires 10 to 12 minutes which will create set edges and crackly tops while centers remain slightly soft because they will become firm during the cooling process. The baking should stop when the food reaches its perfect state because this creates the traditional fudgy brownie cookie texture. The cookies need to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before you can move them to a wire rack.
Finish and serve
The dessert can be completed using powdered sugar or melted chocolate or crushed freeze-dried raspberries which create an attractive appearance. The dessert becomes more delicious when it remains warm because the raspberry filling becomes gooey and molten.
Tips for the Best Raspberry-Filled Brownie Cookies
- The use of high-quality dark chocolate results in a deeper flavor and improved texture of the product.
- The filling requires either extended cooking time or additional cornstarch slurry when it reaches a watery state.
- The vegan recipe requires dairy butter to be replaced with vegan margarine and chicken eggs to be substituted with flax eggs and the recipe needs to include chocolate that does not contain dairy products.
- The product can be stored at room temperature inside an airtight container for three days while it can be kept in the refrigerator for five to seven days—the product needs to be warmed before consumption to achieve its gooey interior.
- The frozen state of unbaked stuffed dough balls can be maintained for two months which allows for direct baking from frozen condition with an extra baking time of one to two minutes.
