When my daughter, Katie, was 2, the juicy, ripe raspberries in my backyard inspired me to create this cutout cookie. It's become a mother-daughter tradition to pick the raspberries, choose the cutter shapes, cut out the cookies and frost them. —Cindy Beberman, Orland Park, Illinois

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup superfine sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
FROSTING:
1-1/2 cups frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed
6 tablespoons butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
Gold and pearl dragees

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, yolk and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and cinnamon; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
Divide dough in half. Shape each portion into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate for 1 hour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. heart-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake at 375° for 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, press raspberries through a sieve; discard seeds. In a large bowl, cream butter, confectioners' sugar and raspberry puree until smooth and creamy. Frost and decorate cookies as desired with dragees. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
