Jam sandwich cookies
These cookies are my childhood favourite and I still love them. If these are something you or your children enjoy too, here is an easy recipe for it
Equipment
- Oven
- Cookie cutter
Ingredients
- 250 g plain/all purpose flour
- 200 g unsalted butter
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- ½ cup raspberry jam or any flavour
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Mix the flour with the salt, sugar and butter using your hand until it resembles breadcrumbs. Then add the yolks and bring everything together to form a dough
- Keep the dough covered and to chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes
- Dust your work surface lightly with some flour and roll your cookie dough out - not very thick or thin. Cut out shapes from this using a 4cm cookie cutter. Out of half of them, cut out the centre
- Bake these (in two batches), in a pre-heated oven at 170°C, for 10-13 minutes or until the sides of the cookies start to brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely
- Place a small dollop of the jam on the lower cookie and place the upper half (with the centre cut out) over it
- Store in an air tight container and enjoy your delicious, buttery jam sandwich cookies
Notes
- If you don't have cookie cutters, you could use caps of small jars/bottles to cut out shapes for your cookies
- Don't roll your cookies too thick or too thin. If too thick, the cookies could get tough on baking and if too thin, they will be quite brittle
