Jam Daisy Drops

Yesterday was my Dad's BIG Day!!

Being away from home makes me feel a bit emotional :(..

But, this doesn't stop me from giving him something special.

"I know you might not be able to taste this Dad.. 

But, I hope you enjoy the pictures I took"

I made this cookies 

since he likes cookies a lot. 

He likes this to accompany him while he is watching TV.

I picked the Jam drop cookies because I love cookies with jam on top of anything

I followed the recipe from Donna Hay..

I like this recipe, since it didn't stick to the rolling pin and bench as much as any other cookies recipes that I have tried 

*but u still have to flour the rolling pin and bench as a safety measure ^^*

and It's very simple..

So.. give it a try..:)

Here is the recipe :

Jam Daisy Drop

~by Donna Hay~

Ingredients :

125 g butter, softened

110 g caster sugar

1 egg

2 tsp vanilla extract

2. Add the egg, and vanilla and beat for another 2-3 minutes or until well combined

3. Add flour and beat until smooth dough forms

4. Divide the dough into 2 parts, and wrap each part in a plastic wrap

5. Freeze the dough on the fridge for 30 minutes

6. Pre-heat the oven to 180C

7. Roll each dough piece of dough out between two sheets of non-stick baking paper to 5mm-thick

8. Use a 6 cm fluted round cookie cutter to cut 24 rounds from the dough 

9. Place 12 rounds on baking trays lined with baking paper

10. Top each round cookie with 1/4 tsp of jam

11. Use a 2cm round cookie cutter to cut a hole from the center of the remaining rounds 

12. Sandwich them with the jam rounds

13. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown

Hope you have a wonderful weekend
