Homemade Jammie Dodgers
A superior homemade version of the classic British biscuit, featuring tender, buttery shortbread sandwiched with sweet raspberry jam.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Raspberry Jam
- 1 tablespoon Whole Milk (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add a splash of milk if the dough is too crumbly to hold together.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut out an equal number of fluted rounds. Use a small heart cutter to remove the center from half of the rounds.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes until firm but still pale.
- Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Dust the heart-cutout biscuits generously with powdered sugar.
- Spread a teaspoon of raspberry jam onto the center of each solid biscuit base.
- Top with the sugared heart biscuits and press gently to sandwich them together.
Notes
- Chill the cut-out dough shapes for 15 minutes before baking to help them keep their shape perfectly.
- Use a high-quality, thick jam to ensure it stays in place between the biscuits.
- Dust the top biscuits with sugar before assembly to keep the jam centers bright and clear.
