24 cookies

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg yolks and the vanilla and beat until smooth. Combine the flour and baking powder. Stir to combine with butter mixture.
2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place dough in a cookie press with a 1-inch bar cookie disc with 3 stripes. Press out dough 2 inches apart. Bake until set, but not brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool.
3. Place glaze ingredients in a double boiler over low heat. Stir frequently until chocolate is melted and sugar dissolves. Dip each end of half of the wafers in the glaze. Return to the rack to dry.
4. Gently spread raspberry preserves on the flat side of each undipped wafer. Top each spread wafer with a chocolate dipped wafer to make a sandwich. Handle very carefully. Do not freeze. Store in a cool place for up to 3 weeks.
