Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Sift together flour and salt, set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Gradually add in the flour mixture, mixing until blended.
- 2. Fill a cookie press with dough and press cookies about 1-inch apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
- 3. When cookies are cool, melt chocolate and shortening then add raspberry extract to taste. Note: the chocolate may seize up when you start adding the extract. You can add more extract or shortening to remedy this. You may also need to warm it up more to get it nice and melted because the extract will also cool the chocolate off a little.
- 4. Spread the chocolate mix on a cookie and sandwich another cookie on top. After sandwiches are made, drizzle remaining chocolate over the sandwiches.

Tips:
- Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries are much more flavorful than frozen or canned raspberries. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just done. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies until they are just set and the edges are just beginning to brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cookies soggy.
