Makes : 15 - 20 cookies

Ingredients :

For Cookies :

• 125 gm.  butter, softened
• 60 gm.  caster sugar
• 1 medium egg, beaten
• 1/4 tsp.  vanilla extract
• 200 gm.  plain flour
• 30 gm.  cornflour
• 1/2 tsp.  baking powder

For the filling :

• 4 tbsp.  Strawberry Jam, or as required
• Icing sugar, for dusting

Method:

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar until creamy. 
• Gradually beat in the egg, then the vanilla extract. 
• Sift the remaining ingredients into a bowl and blend in with a spoon, then work by hand to form a soft dough.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick.
• Using a round or fluted cutter, cut rounds from dough. Place on lined baking sheets. 
• Remove centers from half of rounds with a small cutter to make rings. 
• Re-knead and re-roll trimmings, cut out more rounds and rings; making sure that you have an equal number of each, to make 15 - 20 in total.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden, then remove from the oven and transfer the cookies to wire racks. Leave them to cool completely.
• To assemble the cookies, spread strawberry jam over the bases and place rings on top. 
• Sift icing sugar over them before serving.

Notes : 

• These will keep well for up to 4-5 days in an airtight container. It is best to make the cookies in advance and fill them before serving, to keep the cookies crisp.
  
• Use a smooth strawberry jam for this recipe ( If it has large pieces of fruit in it, sieve it before using ).
