Jam drop biscuit ingredients

  • 170g butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup castor sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups plain flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup strawberry jam
  • 1/3 cup apricot jam

Method

  • Beat the sugar and room temperature butter together using electric beaters or a stand mixer. Beat until creamy and light in colour.
  • Add the egg and combine well.
  • Sift together the flour and baking powder, into the butter mixture. Combine over low speed or with a wooden spoon.
  • Place the dough into the fridge for half an hour. During this wait, preheat the oven to 170°C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
  • Roll a tablespoon of dough mixture into a ball and place on the tray. Repeat for all of the mixture.
  • Using the back of a measuring spoon, or a fingertip, make a small round indent in just the top of each biscuit ball. Use a small measuring spoon to put a little jam in the top of each one - a ¼ teaspoon is about right.
  • Bake the cookies for 10 minutes or until they're just starting to turn from cream to gold. Let cool on the tray for five minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.

Notes

A warning – do not be tempted to taste a biscuit straight from the oven – jam is painfully hot in the mouth!
