CHOCOLATE WITH RASPBERRY JAM COOKIES

Steps:

• Weigh or measure the flour, salt, and cocoa powder into a bowl and whisk to blend. In another bowl, weigh or measure the white and light brown sugar and set aside. In a stand or hand-held mixer combine the butter and cream cheese till thoroughly incorporated. Add the almond extract and the sugars and mix on medium speed for at least 3 minutes. It takes a little while to get the sugars mixed into the butter and cream cheese.
• Slowly add the flour mixture to the mixer. Don't dump or the cocoa powder will go everywhere. Lightly cover and put into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. You want the butter very cold.
• Preheat oven to 350° and line 2 cookie pans with parchment paper, so they are ready. I am using a small cookie scoop for ball size, then roll the dough into a ball. Take your thumb and press down in the middle. Don't go too far down or the jam will leak out the bottom during baking. Taking a 1/4 tsp spoon and fill each hole with the raspberry preserves.
• I put the cookie pan with the ready to bake cookies into the freezer for 10 minutes before baking. The dough gets warm from your hands when you were forming the balls - Bake for 12-14 minutes. After taking the baked cookies out of the oven, leave them on the cookie pan for a minute or two before moving to a cooling rack. After they have cooled completely, I dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED RASPBERRY BROWNIES

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Lightly grease parchment.
• Make the brownies: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; once melted, stir in the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth; set aside and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
• Whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder together in a medium mixing bowl; set aside.
• Combine sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in vanilla. Mix in the cooled, melted chocolate, adding it to the bowl in a slow, steady stream. Mix in the dry ingredients in increments, at low speed, until just combined. Finish incorporating the batter by hand with a rubber spatula if necessary. Scrape the batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of pan and a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies tests clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack and allow brownies to cool completely, 30 to 40 minutes.
• To prepare the topping, spread the raspberry jam evenly over the brownies in the pan, spreading right to the edge. Arrange the whole raspberries in a single layer over the jam.
• Place the chocolate chips in a medium, heat-proof mixing bowl. Warm heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. When the butter melts and the cream begins steaming and bubbling at the edges, pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes to allow chocolate to melt; add salt and whisk until completely smooth. Pour the chocolate ganache over the raspberries. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
• Carefully pull the brownies from the pan using parchment paper overhang; place on a cutting board and carefully peel the parchment paper from the sides. Slice into 9 squares and serve.
