Shortbread Jam Rings (Jammie Dodgers)

200g Butter
75g Icing Sugar
1tsp Vanilla Extract
200g Self Raising Flour
Pinch of salt
Jam

  1. Soften the butter in the microwave and then beat together with the icing sugar until it is very soft.  Add the vanilla extract and mix through.
  2. Stir in the flour and roll into a ball.  Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes
  3. Preheat oven to 180C.
  4. Roll out on a floured surface to 3mm thick.  Cut matching 'tops' and 'bottoms'.  On the tops cut a hole in the centre with a small cutter (I have a little heart).
  5. Bake in the oven for approximately 20 mins.  Leave them to cool slightly on the baking tray before transferring them to the cooling rack.
  6. Melt about four tablespoons of jam in the microwave for about 30seconds. Stir well it should be soft enough to sandwich two layers together.
  7. To decorate sprinkle with icing sugar.
