In the spirit of upcoming Valentines Day ......

I would like to make some of these little guys! They look so delicious! Think i'll be baking this weekend! Here's the recipe!


Valentine's JOLLY JAMMERS

YOU NEED: 200g butter; 100g icing sugar; two large egg yolks; one teaspoon vanilla extract; 250g cake (self-raising) flour, plus extra for rolling; strawberry jam; Icing sugar for dusting.
Makes eight to ten double biscuits.

METHOD: Preheat the oven to 160°C. Beat the butter, icing sugar and egg yolks together until thick and creamy, then add the vanilla extract and flour and beat until the mixture forms a dough.

Wrap in clingfilm and place in the fridge for at least an hour.
Roll out the dough on to a lightly floured surface and cut out 16-20 rounds using a cookie cutter. Cut a heart shape out of the centre of half the rounds.
Place them all on a tray lined with baking paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

If they spread slightly and lose their shape, just re-cut them as they come out of the oven, while the biscuits are still warm. Allow to cool.
To assemble, sandwich the whole rounds and heart cut-out rounds together with strawberry jam. Dust with icing sugar.
