All Butter Shortbread Sandwich Cookies with Raspberry Filling

"As longtime fans of shortbread, we’re always searching high and low for sweet treats that highlight this cookie’s beautifully buttery texture. Recently, we found a supplier in the Netherlands who uses an all-butter recipe to produce some of the most satisfyingly sweet and crumbly shortbread we’ve ever tasted. To make a long story short (or is that a shortbread story long?), as soon as we tried it, we immediately knew how best to showcase it: in these jubilantly jammy All Butter Shortbread Sandwich Cookies with Raspberry Filling!

Each bite of a Trader Joe’s All Butter Shortbread Sandwich Cookie is an exercise in complementary flavors and textures, starting with the crisp exterior of the shortbread, which quickly gives way to a magnificent, melt-in-your-mouth butteriness, which in turn gives way to the tart, fruity zing of the Raspberry Filling. An excellent option for any kind of after-dinner dessert, midday tea-time, or sweet morning indulgence situation, we especially enjoy pairing one of these Sandwich Cookies with a nice, hot cup of coffee or Organic Earl Grey. And for those looking to go the extra mile, they can also be enjoyed dipped in melted chocolate, or crumbled and layered into a particularly exquisite parfait."
