Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup seedless raspberry preserves
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon seedless raspberry preserves
- 1 Tablespoon whole milk
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
- Red food coloring, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). In a stand mixer bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and egg until smooth and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and fine salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture along with the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
- Lightly grease a heart-shaped pan with vegetable oil. Press the chilled cookie dough evenly into the pan, forming a raised edge. Bake for 16-18 minutes until the edges turn golden brown. Allow the cookie to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Carefully invert the pan to release the cookie onto a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely before frosting.
- In a clean stand mixer bowl, beat the room temperature unsalted butter until creamy. Add vanilla extract, raspberry preserves, whole milk, and half a cup of powdered sugar, mixing slowly. Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Optionally, add red food coloring.
- Spread raspberry preserves over the cooled cookie, leaving the crust edge clear. Spread or pipe the raspberry buttercream frosting atop the jam layer.
- Cut the cookie cake into 10 slices and serve. Store at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerate for up to 2 days.
