Vegan Biscoff Shortbread Cookies with Raspberry Jam
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Total: 30 mins | Quantity: approx 15 sandwich cookies
Ingredients
150g (3/4 cup) vegan block butter
125g (1/2 cup) Biscoff spread
160g (3/4 cup) golden caster sugar (sub with white caster sugar)
300g (1 + 3/4 cup) plain (all-purpose) flour
1-2 tablespoons plant milk
4-5 tablespoons raspberry jam (seedless if possible)
a small piece of vegan white chocolate or a few buttons
vegan sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 170 Fan / 190 C / 375 F / Gas 5 and line two large baking trays with parchment or silicon mats
Either by hand or in a stand mixer beat together the butter and the Biscoff spread
Beat in the sugar. Then add the flour and mix together just until it forms a dough
Use a cutter to cut out the cookies. Shape and size of the cutter is up to you, I used a 2 inch (5cm) round cutter. Place them on the lined baking trays - you can space them fairly close together as they don’t spread much
Squidge together the trimmings then re-roll and repeat until you’ve used all the dough. Use a smaller cutter to cut holes in the centre of half the cookies (I didn’t have one small enough so used the bottom of a small metal piping nozzle!)
Bake for 10-12 minutes. You want them golden and a little puffy but still soft to the touch. They firm up once cooled but slightly underbaking them gives them that lovely melt in the mouth texture. Give them 5 minutes on the tray to cool then transfer to a wire rack
Once the cookies are completely cooled melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a bain-marie (a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water)
Spoon the melted chocolate into a small piping bag or something like a sturdy sandwich bag. Snip off the end or corner and pipe lines or stripes over one side of the cookie tops
Before the chocolate sets add a few sprinkles to each cookie and gently press into the chocolate. Let that set while you prepare the bases
Spread roughly a teaspoon of jam per cookie over the bases, keeping the jam slightly domed in the middle. Top with the cookie tops
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3-4 days or in the fridge for at least a week (though they're best eaten at room temp). You can also freeze these cookies
