White Chocolate Cheesecake Sandwich Cookies with Raspberry Buttercream
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup ground toasted almonds
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Raspberry Buttercream
1 cup frozen raspberries, thawed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup marshmallow cream
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together butter, cream cheese and sugar until creamy - about 1 minute. Beat in pudding mix, egg and vanilla until well combined - about 1 minute. Beat in white chocolate, baking powder and salt until well combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in flour and almonds until just combined. Chill dough in refrigerator for 30-45 minutes, or until firm.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.
Roll heaping tablespoons of dough into balls. Roll and coat balls in 1/2 cup confectioers' sugar. Place on cookie sheets, spacing about an inch apart. Lightly press down on cookies to flatten. Bake cookies 12-14 minutes or until light golden around the edges. Cool 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.
To make the raspberry buttercream, puree raspberries in a food processor. Add seedless raspberry puree to a large mixing bowl. Using a mixer on medium speed, beat in butter and confectioners' sugar until creamy - about 1 minute. Beat in marshmallow cream and almond extract until well combined - about 1 minute. Spread buttercream on cookies and make sandwiches.
They are beautiful. I love white choc and I love raspberries.
