You will love it!

These jam-filled cookies will satisfy your sweet tooth anytime you are craving something sweet. The buttery dough creates a shortbread-style cookie that is simple in the best way. Jam sits between the two cookies to create a sandwich cookie, which is perfect with a warm cup of tea.

Chef Tosca Tip

Less is more when it comes to adding the jam. Too much jam and it will fall out of the sides from the cookie.
