Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

Ok these cookies are so unbelievably good i had to hand them out to all my family and friends just so i wouldnt eat them all. The best part is that they are easy! Perfect for Valentines treat.
1 Cup butter margarine
4 1/2 ounce package of instant chocolate pudding mix
1 egg
2 cups flour
3 Tbs sugar
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
1/2 cup semi-sweet chips
3 Tbs butter or margarine

Heat oven to 325 degrees. In large bowl beat butter and pudding until fluffy. Beat in egg. Gradually blend in flour until dough forms. Shape into 1 inch balls and roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased pan. With thumb, made depression in center of each cookie. Bake for 15 minutes (cookies should be firm to the touch). Remove from pan immediately and cool completely.

Fill each depression with about 1/2 tsp or raspberry preserves. Melt chips and butter in microwave until chips are smooth (about 45 seconds). Drizzle about 1/2 tsp of chocolate on top of cookie. Cool completely. Makes 3 dozen.


TIP: This dough freezes REALLY!!!
