Ingredients

Vanilla Shortbread Biscuit

  • 187g butter at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups plain flour

Vanilla Buttercream Icing

  • 187g butter at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 125g icing sugar
  • 40g butter at room temperature
  • 15ml whole milk
  • a couple of drops vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam

Method

  • STEP 1
    Cream the butter and icing sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • STEP 2
    Mix in the flour. You may need to add more or less flour. It needs to be a soft dough which you are able to roll out.
  • STEP 3
    Roll out dough on a floured surface. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out rounds and lay on a lined baking tray.
  • STEP 4
    Using a small round cutter, cut out small circles from half of the biscuit rounds.
  • STEP 5
    Bake at 220'C for 5-10 minutes. The biscuits should still be pale but slightly golden on the tips and on the bottom of the biscuits.
  • STEP 6
    While the biscuits are cooling on a wire rack, make the icing.
  • STEP 7
    Beat the icing sugar and butter until the mixture comes together. Add in the vanilla and milk and beat for 5 minutes on high speed. The icing should be light and very fluffy!
  • STEP 8
    spread the icing on the biscuits without a hole and sandwich with a biscuit that does have a hole! Fill the hole with strawberry jam. I like to sprinkle the biscuits with caster or icing sugar.
