I love the combination of chocolate and raspberry so much. These have to be one of my favorite cookies because of that. The dough has such wonderful flavor because of the cinnamon that is added. Plan ahead because you do have to chill the dough. Enjoy

The cinnamon makes the dough taste so good.
Roll and cut out the cookies.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Add the melted chocolate to the flat side of the whole cookies.
Put the jam in the center and top it with the sugared cookies.
