A super fun and delicious recipe, I made these last week to add to my Christmas biscuit boxes and they are definitely a favourite.
MAKES: PREP TIME: COOK TIME:
24 cookies 45 minutes 15 minutes

1 cup of vegan butter
3/4 cup of icing sugar
a generous pinch of salt
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 cups of all-purpose flour

raspberry fruit jam
FOR THE COOKIES:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°c and line two baking trays.
2. In a mixing bowl with the paddle attachment beat the vegan butter, icing sugar, salt and vanilla together for 3 minutes.
3. Add the flour to the mixture until it just combines (a ball of dough should form)
4. Remove from the bowl and knead until a ball of dough forms.
5. Wrap and place in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
6. Once rested roll the dough out onto a floured surface and cut out the shapes (Both outside and inside circle) then place onto the baking tray. - make sure to leave 1/2 of the cookies whole (don’t cut a hole in them) as they are the bottom cookie.
7. Keep repeating step 6 until there is no more dough left.
8. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cookies become golden at the edges.
9. Once baked remove from the oven and allow to cool.
10. Once cool dust some icing sugar over the top cookies (the ones with the holes in them) and spread a layer of raspberry jam over the bottom ones.
11. Sandwich the two cookies together and enjoy !
