Homemade Jammie Dodgers
INGREDIENTS:
260g / 2 ¼ sticks unsalted butter; softened
350g / 2 ¾ cups white / all-purpose flour
1 cup icing / confectioners’ sugar
pinch of sea salt
pot of strawberry or raspberry jam
METHOD:
1. Beat the butter until it is light and fluffy. Add the flour, confectioners’ sugar, and salt. Combine all the ingredients until you have a nice dough. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
2. After chilling, preheat the oven to 180C (fan) / 350° F. Split the dough into two separate parts. For the first half, roll out the dough and cut into rounds with a circular-shaped cookie cutter. I think mine was 3 inches. Place cookies on a sheet with parchment paper. For the remainder of the dough, make the same cut outs but also use a heart shaped cutter n the centre and place on another baking sheet lined with parchment.
3. Bake both sets of cookies in the oven for 6-8 minutes. Let cool. Spread half of the cookies with jam and cover with the cut-out heart cookies. Enjoy!
