These raisin cookies mimic the late lamented Golden Raisin Biscuits, formerly sold under the Sunshine brand name, and later by Keebler. These flat, not overly sweet, raisin-filled cookies came in perforated strips that you'd break apart into rectangles. Keebler purchased Sunshine in 1996, and unfortunately dropped Golden Raisin Biscuits from their lineup; many of us have missed them ever since. Thus this recipe. More evocation than clone, these cookies are sweeter and more crisp than the original, but a tasty reminder of a classic cookie of years gone by.

(120 grams) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

(85 grams) cold butter

(198 grams) currants or chopped raisins

(113 grams) coarse sparkling sugar

This recipe comes to us courtesy of author Jennie Schacht, whose book — "I Scream Sandwich!" — includes a wealth of truly delicious ice cream/cookie combinations.

This traditional filled spice cookie is ubiquitous throughout Russia, appearing both on grocery store shelves and emerging from home ovens.

These caramel-cinnamon treats elevate the term "sandwich cookie" to new heights! You must have a pizzelle (or krumake) maker, preferably a "mini," to prepare these. You may use a regular-size pizzelle maker; the cookies will just be larger.

Crisp, buttery, maple-flavored shortbread cookies, sandwiched around rich maple syrup cream filling — it simply doesn't get any better for all of you maple lovers out there. This recipe, courtesy of King Arthur employee-owner Melanie Wanders, was the runner-up entry in our 2014 "Crunch Time: The Great King Arthur Cookie Challenge," a fundraising event for our local medical center.

Note: While the dough can be rolled and cut as instructed, we've found that using cookie stamps adds a beautiful decorative touch (pictured at right). See "tips," below, for making these simple yet elegant stamp cookie sandwiches.

These bright purple cookies come to us from Kat Lieu’s book Modern Asian Baking at Home. The cookies get their distinctive color and aroma from the Filipino purple yam ube (specifically, in the form of ube extract and ube halaya, a sweet jam). The ube gives the cookie dough a fruity, coconutty flavor with notes of vanilla, and the chewy, stretchy mochi centers hiding beneath the surface take these treats to the next level.

ube extract*

rice flour

(28 grams) confectioners' sugar sifted

cornstarch

Mindy Segal has always been somewhat fanatic about how well butterscotch and banana pair up, so she applied the combination to a simple vanilla wafer-inspired sandwich cookie in her new book, Cookie Love.

(131 grams) granulated sugar

(480 grams) King Arthur Unbleached Cake Flour

These jammy-yet-crisp cookies, which are akin to rugelach and palmiers, are inspired by the iconic Caribbean and Latin American combination of cream cheese and guava. The cream cheese in the dough makes the cookies simultaneously tender and flaky, while guava jam adds a ribbon of tropical sweetness and welcome acidity. The rolled-up approach gives this guava cookies recipe its namesake pink swirl.

Picture this: a decadently moist chocolate cupcake. No dry center for sure, because you have a CHEESECAKE center. And THEN, you cut a heart out of the top and spoon in cherry pie filling. Dry cupcakes, be gone! These are just perfect for Valentine&#39;s Day! Everyone will love you. 

Cheesecake Filled Chocolate Cupcakes with Cherry Hearts

(8-oz) package cream cheese (softened)

chocolate

all purpose flour

cocoa powder

cherry pie filling

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Start by making the filling. In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and there are no lumps. Add 1 egg, 1/3 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt. Fold in 6 ounces of the mini chocolate chips. (A little more than half the bag, no need to measure). Scrape the mixture into another bowl.

Add 1 cup sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt to the empty bowl (no need to wash). Whisk to combine. Then add the water, oil, sour cream, vinegar, and vanilla.
