This recipe is my creation of what i remember my mum baking for me as a child. as far as memory serves its an excellent rendition of a simple buscuit that i hold so dear. My mum sadly passed away in 2009 from lung cancer. So I make these cookies in memory of the greatest woman who ever lived. I make these with raspberry jam she used to make them with strawberry jam and lemon curd.

800g - Butter
800g - Sugar
1280g - Flour
4 - Eggs
2 tsp - Baking Powder
2 tsp - Salt
*for filling* Raspberry Jam

beat the butter in a mixing bowl with a paddle until light and creamy. add the eggs one at a time then slowly add the flour, salt and baking powder.

Roll the mix into logs and chill. once chilled slice the logs into dics about 1.5 cm thick. lay on a baking sheet and alow to come to room temp. once soft make a small indentation in the middle of each disc then pipe or spoon some jam into this hollow.

Bake at 170c untill golden (approx 20-30 mins)
