Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 85 g unsalted butter, softened
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 1 piece egg, large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 80 g low-fat strawberry jam
- 10 g icing sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer, about 3-4 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually mix in the flour mixture until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll each part between two sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of about 4mm (1/8 inch).
Use a round cookie cutter, approximately 6cm in diameter, to cut out discs from the dough. Use a smaller cutter, about 2cm, to cut out the centers of half of the discs to create rings.
Transfer the cookies and rings to the prepared baking sheets, ensuring there is enough space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on wire racks.
Once cooled, spread about 1 teaspoon of low-fat strawberry jam onto each whole cookie disc and top with a cookie ring, pressing gently to adhere.
Dust with icing sugar before serving. Enjoy your homemade Low Fat Jammy Dodger Cookies!
