...it's a jammie dodger, but I was promised tea!

So for those of you are AREN'T into Doctor who (what is wrong with you?), Season 8 of the Reboot had it's Premier happen a couple weeks ago. It was an insightful, emotional, and blustering episode full of thoughts about who the Doctor is truly. The party I attended was full of amazing and thematic food.

For Example:

Fish Sticks and Custard Cookies

Bowties are Cool  Pasta Salad

Cassandra Lasagna

I also came dressed like the (First) Doctor's Granddaughter, Suzanne Foreman.

Channeling my inner Suzanne

Now, on to what I made! Jammie Dodgers!

Shortbread Cookie Recipe:

(makes about 2 dozen 2 inch cookies)

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups flour

6 tablespoons sugar

1 cup butter (softened)

Directions:

Combine flour and sugar. Then cut in the butter until the mixture is mostly crumbs and starts to stick together. Your dough will be a bit crumbly.

Form the mixture into a ball and work until smooth.

Roll out dough, cut with cookie cutters (Make sure you have a couples of a full circle cookie and a circle with a heart in the center cookie to make the sandwiches), and place onto un-greased cookie sheet.

Bake in a 325 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Note: The baking time varies according to the size of your cookies. If your dough isn’t sticking to itself at all, add a tablespoon more soft butter.

To make them into Jammie Dodgers:

Using a tablespoon of high quality Jam or low bulk preserves apply to a full circle cookie and the cover and lightly press with a circle with a heart in the center cookie to make the sandwich.

Mixing dough!

Adding the Jam.

I didn't have a tiny circle cookie cutter so I opted for Hearts.

While rolling out the cookies, I probably added another 1/2 cup of flour to keep the dough from sticking/keeping the dough together. The firmness of the cookie was perfect as was the mildness. The cookie portion showcased the jam very well. though these were a bit more work than other cookies, they were worth it!

Until the next Whovian event...
