| 1 | cup butter, softened |
| 1‑1/4 | cups sugar, divided |
| 2 | egg yolks |
| 1/4 | teaspoon salt |
| 2‑1/4 | cups all-purpose flour |
| 1 | cup seedless raspberry jam |
| 1‑1/2 | cups mini semisweet chocolate chips |
| 3 | egg whites |

PREPARATION:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and salt. Gradually add flour. Beat at low speed until well blended.
