Is there any more traditional bake at Christmas than these jammie dodgers – little biscuits filled with jam? You'll be hard pushed to find someone who doesn't like them. They're pretty to look at, delicious to eat, and make a fantastic snack between meals or with a cup of tea or coffee. Children love to help with baking and if you don't have any biscuit cutters, you can simply use drinking straws to decorate your biscuits. Straws are perfect for making little holes in the dough, allowing you to decorate your biscuits in no time at all. Personally, I like my jammie dodgers small. If you prefer bigger ones then I suggest you simply bake more of them. These biscuits are so delicious that they'll soon disappear!
