Sachertorte Cookies are a twist on the classic Austrian dessert, the Sachertorte. This rich chocolate cookie is filled with a fruity apricot or cherry center, and drizzled with melted chocolate to create a decadent and delicious treat. The chocolate pudding mix and margarine/butter in the dough give it a velvety texture, while the preserves add a bright burst of flavor. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, from parties to afternoon tea. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
2.	In a large bowl, cream 1 cup of softened margarine or butter with the package of instant chocolate pudding mix and 3 tablespoons sugar until light and fluffy.
3.	Mix in the egg.
4.	Gradually add in the flour, stirring until well combined.
5.	Shape the dough into small balls and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
6.	Flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass.
7.	Bake for 10-12 minutes or until set.
8.	In a small saucepan, melt together 3 tablespoons of margarine or butter with the 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly.
9.	Spread the melted chocolate mixture over cooled cookies, leaving a small border around the edges.
10.	Spoon the apricot or cherry preserves onto the centers of the cookies. Allow to set before serving or storing.
