Ingredients

• 125g butter, chilled, chopped
• 1 1/3 cups plain flour
• 2/3 cup almond meal
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup strawberry jam

Method

1. Place butter, flour, almond meal, sugar and spices in a food processor. Process until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add egg and vanilla. Process until mixture just comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth. Shape dough into a disc. Wrap in baking paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 170 C/150 C fan-forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Roll dough out between 2 sheets of baking paper until 4mm-thick. Using a 6 cm-round fluted cutter, cut 36 rounds from dough. Place on a prepared tray. Re-roll dough trimmings as needed. Refrigerate biscuits for 20 minutes or until firm. Using a 3cm star-shaped cutter, cut small stars from the centre of half the rounds (see notes).
3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden. Stand on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
4. Spread uncut biscuits with a little jam. Sandwich with star cut-out biscuits.
5. Pack biscuits into paper-lined boxes or cellophane bags and secure with ribbon (see notes).
