Jam Jam Cookies
Portion the dough with a small spoon, roll into balls and place on the lined baking sheet. Press into flat discs using a floured glass or moistened palm.
Step 2
Bake for 10–12 minutes. Remove and cool for at least 10 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 4
In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar and egg until combined. Add the molasses and vanilla and mix until smooth.
Step 5
Dissolve the baking soda in the 3 tbsp water. Add to the wet ingredients and mix for 1 minute.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, cinnamon, flour and salt. Add to the wet ingredients a little at a time on low speed, scraping down the sides, until fully combined. The dough should be soft but firm enough to roll into balls — if it feels sticky, chill it for 15 minutes.
Step 7
Sandwich pairs of cooled cookies with at least 2 tsp of your favourite jam.
