Scottish recipes - Flower Jammy Dodgers

Jammy Dodger



Jammy Dodgers are a biscuit (cookie) from my Scottish childhood

Traditionally they are round with a heart cut in the middle but today I made them into flowers with a center, aren't these cute?

A Jammy Dodger is basically two shortbread biscuits (cookies) sandwiched together with Jam (Jelly)


To make these cute flower Jammy Dodgers

you will need

230g/8oz Butter
340g/12oz Plain All Purpose Flour
320g/11oz Icing (Powdered) Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
pinch of salt


  • sift flour into a large bowl, add the powdered sugar and the butter

  • rub all together with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs, add the vanilla and salt

  • Now kneed and mold into a dough with your hands

  • Cover with cling film (saran wrap) and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes

  • Roll out dough onto a floured surface and cut out the shapes (I used a flower cutter)

  • now take half of the cut outs and cut a smaller hole in them (these will be the tops)

  • Place on a baking sheet and bake at 320F/160C for 10-15 minutes

  • Once ready, place on a wire rack until cooled completely

  • Sandwich together (solid biscuit on bottom, cut out hole on top) with a spoonful of Jam (jelly) of your choice, I used raspberry preserves
add the jam

  6. Are these ounces by volume as opposed to weight? So, flour = 12oz = 1 1/2 cups and powdered sugar = 11oz = just over 1 1/3 cups? Thanks!
