Use any flavour jam you like. You can skip the simmering step, but biscuits won't hold together so well. Chocolate spread or lemon curd are good alternatives!

Method
Place jam in a small saucepan on medium heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool (it should thicken on cooling).
Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla and orange zest. Sift in flour and baking powder and mix with a spatula until well combined.
Roll dough out between two pieces of baking paper to 4-5mm thick. Slide onto a large board or tray and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180ºC bake. Line 2-3 large baking trays with baking paper.
Use a round fluted cookie cutter (5-6cm diameter) to cut biscuits from dough. Cut small shapes out of the centre of half of the cookies (using plunger cutters, piping tips or anything else you can find). Carefully transfer to prepared trays. Re-roll leftover dough to make more biscuits.
Bake biscuits for 10 minutes, until pale golden. It is best to bake biscuits one tray at a time (refrigerating the other trays in the meantime). Allow biscuits to cool on trays for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
When cold, spread jam on the underside of one of the whole biscuits. Top with one of the biscuits with a shape cut out and gently press together. Repeat with the remaining biscuits.
