Instructions

Get prepped
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with baking spray.
Make the raspberry topping
  1. Combine the raspberry jam, water and vanilla extract in a medium sized saucepan.
  2. Heat over medium high heat until bubbling.
  3. Simmer for 3-5 minutes or until completely liquid and slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature, stirring frequently, before using.
Make the cookie dough
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar cookie mix and 1 cup graham cracker crumbs until combined.
  2. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat in the butter, egg and milk until a firm dough forms.
Roll the cookies
  1. Scoop out dough with a 1 ½ Tablespoon cookie scoop and roll into a ball.
  2. Roll each cookie dough ball in the remaining ½ cup graham cracker crumbs and place on the prepared baking sheet, about 1-2 inches apart.
  3. Flatten each ball with the bottom of a clean glass or measuring cup until they are about ½ inch thick, forming a thick disc.
Bake the cookies
  1. Bake each sheet of cookies for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cracked on top.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
  1. Beat together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla extract and salt in a large mixing bowl with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. It may be thick.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the milk, beating the frosting until you reach a firm but pipeable frosting.
  3. Pipe on a large amount of frosting on each cookie with a piping bag fitted with a 2A wilton tip or equivalent tip. You can also spread the frosting on with a knife or spoon.
  4. Scoop about a teaspoon of the cooled raspberry topping onto each frosted cookie and serve. The topping can also be drizzled if you prefer.

Notes

  • Storage
  • To store your Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies, layer them in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be aware that if you stack them, the sauce and frosting will stick slightly to whatever is stacked on top of them.
  • Freeze
  • You can also freeze these cookies for up to 3 months, however be aware that the topping may split and the texture of both the frosting and the topping may change.
