“Also known as Jolly Jammers, these biscuits are filled with a delicious glistening jelly. Instead of dehydrating strawberries yourself, you could crush a bag of Woolworths freezedried strawberries instead.”- Abigail Donnelly
Ingredients
Method
- 10 strawberries, thinly sliced
- 240 g butter
- 50 g icing sugar, sifted
- 240 g flour
- 1 x 155 g jar Woolworths cranberry jelly
Method
Ingredients
1. Preheat the oven to 120°C. Place the strawberries on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 1 hour.
2. Remove from the tray and cool, then chop finely. Increase the temperature to 180°C.
3. Cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the flour and mix in the strawberries. Wrap the dough in clingwrap and chill for 30 minutes.
4. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1 cm between 2 sheets of greaseproof paper.
5. Cut out circles using a round cookie cutter, then cut stars out of half of the circles using a star-shaped cookie cutter. Bake for 20 minutes.
6. Allow to cool, then sandwich with the jelly.
