Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Dairy-free margarine
• 100 grams Caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Almond milk
• 100 grams Raspberry jam (or any preferred flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Icing sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, cream the dairy-free margarine and caster sugar together until light and fluffy.

Step 2

Add the vanilla extract and almond milk to the margarine mixture, and mix until combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour mixture to the margarine mixture, stirring until a dough begins to form.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 6

Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 8

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 9

Using a round cookie cutter, cut out circles of dough. Use a smaller cutter or the tip of a piping nozzle to cut a hole in the center of half the circles.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the cut circles onto the prepared baking sheets.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Once the cookies have cooled, spread a small amount of raspberry jam onto the flat side of each whole circle cookie.

Step 14

Top each jam-covered cookie with a cookie that has a hole, pressing down gently to create a sandwich.

Step 15

Optionally, dust the finished cookies with icing sugar for extra sweetness and visual appeal.

Step 16

Serve your Dairy-Free Jammy Dodger Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy!
