Homemade Jammie Dodgers
Description
Homemade Jammie Dodgers consist of soft, buttery biscuits made by creaming softened butter with sugar and vanilla, then binding with egg before incorporating flour, baking powder, and salt. The dough is rolled out carefully and cut into shapes with a cutter that also imprints the signature design. The cookies bake at moderate temperature until lightly browned. After cooling, two cookies are sandwich-joined with a layer of seedless raspberry jam, providing a balance of buttery texture and sweet-tart fruit filling.
The biscuits hold their shape well through baking, with a tender crumb that contrasts the smooth jam layer. The stamped design adds a distinctive traditional touch to the cookies, making them visually recognizable.
This recipe yields classic tea time cookies that can be enjoyed fresh or stored for later snacking.
Ingredients
- 200 g unsalted butter softened, 1 cup
- 200 g sugar 1 cup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 360 g plain flour plus more to roll out dough, 3 cups
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- seedless raspberry jam to fill
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Put the butter, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of your stand mixer or a large mixing bowl. Beat together for at least three minutes, stopping halfway to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Add the egg and beat until incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour, a little at a time, mixing it in until the dough comes together. Mix in the last of the flour using your hands and knead until you have a pliable dough.
- Lightly dust your liner or baking parchment with a little flour. Use your rolling pin with ⅛ (or ¼ inch) rings to roll out the dough.
- Dust the cutters with flour and shake out any excess. Place cutter on the dough and press down to cut the basic shape. Depress the central button on cutter (with some force!) to imprint the design and release the dough from the mould.
- Repeat until you have used up all the dough, gathering any scraps and rolling out again. Cut a central hole using a heart shaped cutter (or any shape you like) on half the biscuits.
- Place on the prepared trays, spaced slightly apart. Bake for 9-10 minutes – keep an eye on the biscuits and remove from the oven when the edges just start to colour.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Fill the jammie dodgers with a little seedless raspberry jam and sandwich together.
