Jam Jams

1. Cream together the butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Mix in the egg, black treacle and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt

4. Stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture in 3 stages until a dough forms. The dough is quite sticky. It's best to work it together, wash your hands and then shape into a ball.

5. Divide dough into two discs, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.​

6.Preheat oven to 180°C. Roll dough on a floured surface to 6mm thickness. Cut into circles using a 5cm ring cutter and place on to baking trays lined ith greaseproof paper. 

​7. Bake for 8 -10 minutes, until just set and slightly puffy. Leave to cool for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.​

8. Spread a teaspoon of jam on the flat side of one biscuit and sandwich together with another. Repeat with all the biscuits

Let rest a few hours to allow the jam to soften the cookies. These taste so much better the next day.
