Chocolate Jam-Filled Cookie Cakes

Chocolate Jam-Filled Cookie Cakes are soft, rich chocolate cookies with a hidden pocket of sweet jam inside, offering a perfect balance of decadent cocoa and fruity flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup fruit jam or preserves (such as raspberry, strawberry, or cherry)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly, and place 1/2 teaspoon of jam in the center.
  7. Top with another flattened tablespoon of dough and seal the edges carefully to enclose the jam completely.
  8. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set. Allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use thick jam to avoid leakage during baking.
  • Cookies can be dusted with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
