My little ones love these and they regularly feature as a lunchbox treat, I love that there is hardly any sugar in them, the jammy centres are sweet enough and they are simple and quick to bake with ingredients you most likely have in your pantry at any given moment. You can also glam them up if you like by using a fancy jam like maybe a fig or peach, delish.
...the cookies
125g softened butter
1/3 cup caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
185g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp milk
jar of lovely raspberry or strawberry jam
Preheat oven to 180. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Cream the butter, caster sugar and vanilla until pale. Add the flour, baking powder and milk and use a wooden spoon to mix the dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture and make a soft dough.
Roll walnut sized balls and place on the baking tray about five centimetres apart. Flatten each ball then press a two centimetre wide indent in the centre of each with your finger or the end of your wooden spoon.
Bake in your preheated oven for 10 – 12 minutes or until lightly golden, remove from the oven and fill each indent with jam then bake for another 5 – 10 minutes.
Leave on the baking tray for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
