I didn't read the portioning so made 24, rather than 40, and the jam to biscuit ration was a bit anemic. Would recommend trying for a smaller biscuit - though I'm skeptical that it could make 40 biscuits with a 3cm diameter. I'd also recommend baking the jam centers for 5 mins so they form a skin. My biscuits slopped jam all over their container, but that could have been user error - fossicking in my pantry for biscuits at midnight in the dark was probably not the ideal way to treat their storage., approved=true, user_name=Shalott Muse, hs_createdate=1716176735448, rating_new__1_5_=4, rating=80, id=13316171382}, {comment_text=Although they didn't make 40 -mine made 30-it is a great recipe, approved=true, hs_createdate=1716176735111, rating_new__1_5_=4, rating=80, id=13316116653}, {comment_text=They didnt make enough it says they make 40 so I doubled it and it didn't make 80, approved=true, user_name=No, hs_createdate=1702249883642, rating_new__1_5_=2, id=11175436380}, {comment_text=I thought that this was a wonderful recipe.

I love how they feel in my mouth and the are sooooooo good. Last time I made them I forgot 1/2 a cup of flour, but that made no difference.

Method

Preheat oven to 160°C bake. Line 2 large oven trays with silicone sheets or baking paper.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, Chelsea Raw Caster Sugar and vanilla until smooth and pale. Add the egg and beat well.
Slowly beat in the flour and salt until a stiff dough forms.
Use either a small ice-cream scoop or clean hands to roll the dough into balls about 3cm diameter. Place on prepared trays, allowing a 3-4cm gap between each biscuit.
Flatten slightly, then use the end of a wooden spoon to make a small indentation, about 1cm across, in the top of each biscuit (this is to hold the jam after baking)
Bake 10-15 minutes or until pale golden. Remove from the oven and, while the biscuits are still warm, use the handle of the spoon to repress down the indentation in the middle of each biscuit. Remove onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Lightly sift Chelsea Icing Sugar over the cooled biscuits. Using a teaspoon, spoon a small amount of jam into the centre of each biscuit. Store in an airtight container.
