| Jammy Dodger |
Jammy Dodgers are a biscuit (cookie) from my Scottish childhood
Traditionally they are round with a heart cut in the middle but today I made them into flowers with a center, aren’t these cute?
A Jammy Dodger is basically two shortbread biscuits (cookies) sandwiched together with Jam (Jelly)
To make these cute flower Jammy Dodgers
you will need
230g/8oz Butter
340g/12oz Plain All Purpose Flour
320g/11oz Icing (Powdered) Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
pinch of salt
- sift flour into a large bowl, add the powdered sugar and the butter
