Almond jam drops

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Grease and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

Step 2

Beat the butter, vanilla, sugar and almond meal in a stand mixer until thick and pale. Add the egg and beat until combined. Gently stir through flour with a wooden spoon until combined. Cover and chill for 30 minutes or until firm.

Step 3

Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place 3cm apart on prepared trays.

Step 4

Using your thumb, make an indent in the middle of each biscuit and spoon in jam. Cover and freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 5

Bake for 12-15 minutes until light golden. Stand on trays for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
