Serves Makes 20-25

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 25–30 minutes

Ingredients

510 g cake flour
4 t baking powder
55 g custard powder
250 g butter, at room temperature
2 large free-range eggs
1 t vanilla extract
8 T Woolworths Woolies Babes apple pureé, plus extra for baking

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Sift together the dry ingredients. In the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, eggs, vanilla and apple purée until light and fluffy.

2. Add the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms, taking care not to overmix.

3. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and roll out 40 g balls of cookie dough. Place them on the trays 1 cm apart and use your thumb to make an indentation the centre for the filling. Fill each cookie with ½ t apple sauce or 1 t jam. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until slightly golden.
