Allow to simmer with somewhat consistent stirring for 5 minutes.

Directions to Assemble Cookies

Take the round bottom piece cookie and spread with a thin layer of raspberry filling.
-
Top with the top cookie piece (one with the hole shape cut into it).

Raspberry filling should fill the space of the cut out hole.
