The best Christmas Cookies EVER: Raspberry Filled Shortbread Cookies

So these are the best possible Christmas cookies ever. AND they are soooo easy and delicious! 




Cookies:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup powdered sugar
2 sticks of butter + 2 tablespoons (softened) 
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon butter and nut flavoring

Filling:
Nutella hazelnut spread
Raspberry preserves 

Topping:
Dark chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add salt. Slowly incorporate flour a few teaspoons at a time. Add flavoring and mix well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll out on a floured surface and cut out with your favorite cookie cutters. Bake for 7 minutes at 350 degrees. 

After cookies have cooled, spread the underside of one with the preserves or Nutella (your choice) and place another cookie over it to create a sandwich. After all of the cookies are filled, melt chocolate chips in the microwave and use a fork to drizzle the chocolate over the top. Viola!
