Description

Ingredients

• 1.25kg/2.75lb fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered*
• 600g sugar
• 200ml water
• 2 lemons, juice
• 250g unsalted butter, softened
• 120g icing sugar (confectioners/powdered), plus more for dusting surface
• 1tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg yolk
• 350g plain flour (all purpose)
• 20g cornflour
• 30g white sugar

Directions

• Put the hulled and quartered strawberries in a maslin or large saucepan. Add sugar, water and lemon juice and mix to combine. Bring to a boil on a high heat, let boil for 5 mins. Reduce to medium low heat and simmer for approx 1 hour, until mixture reaches a temperature of 105C/220F. While its still hot, pour into warm, sterilised jars - tighten lids and leave to cool overnight.
• Beat the butter and icing sugar together using the paddle attachment of your stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, until fluffy and pale - about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and egg yolk and beat to combine. Sift in the flours and mix by hand with a wooden spoon until combined. Chill dough in the fridge for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 190C/370F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Lightly dust your worktop with icing sugar and roll out your cookie dough to 3mm thick. Use a fluted 5cm cookie cutter to cut out circles. Use a small round cutter (or heart shaped if you have one) to cut out the centre of half of the cookies - I used the wide end of a piping nozzle to do this. Its up to you how big you make the hole. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until pale golden in colour. Transfer to wire rack to cool, and sprinkle with the white sugar while theyre still warm. When cooled, spread 1/2 tbsp of jam on the cookies without a hole, and sandwich with one of the cookies with a cut out. Repeat with all cookies.
