Gluten free Jammy Dodgers Recipe
These gluten free Jammy Dodgers (or gluten free Jammie Dodgers!?) are easy to make and great to bake with children. Sweet gluten free biscuits with a sticky jam filling.
Servings: 16 biscuits
Ingredients
- 115 g unsalted butter
- 115 g caster sugar
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 275 g plain gluten free flour (I use FREEE plain gluten free flour - plus you'll need a little extra for dusting)
- 16 tsp strawberry jam
Instructions
- Add the butter and caster sugar to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer (or wooden spoon) beat together until pale and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat together until combined. Add the flour and using the a spoon, and then your hands, bring the dough together. If it still a little sticky, add a tiny bit more flour until it is a smooth dough. Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180C / Fan 160C / Gas Mark 4 and line two baking trays with baking paper. Remove the dough from the fridge and roll out to around 3mm thickness. Using a 6cm fluted cookie cutter, cut out 28 circles from the dough, re-rolling when needed.
- Place half of the circles on a baking sheet, and from the other half use a small heart-shaped cutter to cut hearts from the centre of the circles. Place these circles on the baking sheet.
- Bake the biscuits for 10 minutes, until they are pale and golden. Cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes, remove to a cooling rack and then leave to cool completely.
- When you're ready to assemble the biscuits, place 1 tsp of jam in the centre of each circle. Place the biscuits with the cut-out hearts on top and sandwich together.
Notes

- Weighing Scales vs Cups: You can toggle this recipe card to convert the ingredients into cups/imperial. However, I always recommend using weighing scales – these are cheap to buy and much more accurate. And in gluten free baking, a tiny variation can make a huge difference!
