Anglissie Cookies

Ingredients

Butter 225g

Sugar 1 cup

Flour 300g

Baking powder 1 tsp

Salt 1/2 tsp

Raspberry jam

Icing sugar

These are traditional cookies from the Isle of Anglissie (Wales). The British treat them at Christmas and New Year.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Cream the butter and sugar until creamy, then stir in the flour, salt, and baking powder.

Roll the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 6mm and cut out circles with cookie cutters. Make a small hole in the center of half the cookies. You will need the smallest cookie cutter for this.

Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes; the cookies will rise and turn golden. Cool the finished cookies and assemble the different sections, having first coated the surface with raspberry jam. Dust with powdered sugar.

Enjoy!
