Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Caster sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Raspberry jam
- 2 tablespoons Icing sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms.
Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick.
Use a round cookie cutter (about 6cm or 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut out disks. On half of the disks, use a smaller cutter (about 2cm or 0.75 inches) to cut out the centers.
Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Rotate the pans halfway through baking for even cooking.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cool, spread about half a teaspoon of raspberry jam on each whole cookie base.
Place the cookies with holes on top, pressing lightly to sandwich them together.
Sprinkle with icing sugar for a decorative finish.
Store the completed Jammy Dodgers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
