TOP TIP
If you’d rather not use your finger to make an imprint for the jam in the biscuits, try using the rounded tip of a wooden spoon handle instead.
Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. These cookies will keep in an airtight tin for up to 4 days.
