Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a medium size bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
3
In another medium size mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and brown sugar together until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time, beating to combine with each addition.
4
Using mixer on low, alternate additions of 1/3 of the flour mixture to wet batter, mix and then add one pouch of fruit sauce, mixing just until combined with each addition, repeat, ending with a final addition of flour mixture.
5
Drop heaping tablespoons onto cookie sheet spaced 3” apart (12 cookies to a sheet). Bake for 10-12 minutes until top is firm to the touch. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter.

To make filling beat butter, icing sugar, milk, and vanilla together with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag or plastic bag and cut off a 1cm hole in corner. Pipe half the cookies with 1-2 tablespoons of filling and top with remaining cookies pressing lightly together. Pour sprinkles into a small bowl and roll edges of cookies in sprinkles.
