These little beauties are the easiest biscuits/cookies ever...the dough itself has only three (yes THREE) ingredients! - I don't count the pinch of salt!
I then added about ¼ teaspoon of raspberry jam to the centre of the cookies, which gives you Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies.
Super easy to make, and they taste soooo gooood...
PS: I have dedicated these biscuits to my lovely father-in-law Frank. I don't think he's ever met a biscuit/cookie that he didn't like!
When Peter and I were first married and my in-laws used to come and stay with us, I would make my own homemade biscuits every visit for Frank, and he would sing my praises, telling how great my biscuits were...I thought I was just the bees' knees! After a few more visits - and more biscuit baking - I boasted to Peter "your dad LOVES my biscuits! *insert proud and boastful grin here*" To which Peter replied "I wouldn't get too excited - Dad just likes biscuits!" *insert disappointed frowny face here*
During their next visit, Peter thought he would get a laugh AND take me down a peg or two, and informed Frank that he had set me straight regarding the biscuits. To which Frank quickly replied "what did you tell her that for?- now she won't make me any more biscuits!"
Smart man my father-in-law.
