Makes 16 cookies.

Ingredients

• For the biscuits
• 120g unsalted butter, softened
• 
  120g Pure Maple Syrup, Amber Rich
  
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 215g plain flour
• 25g corn flour
• For the filling
• 50g unsalted butter, softened
• 
  100g Pure Maple Butter
  
• 130g strawberry jam
• Icing sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 170C, fan 150C, gas mark 3. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
2. To make the biscuits, place the softened butter in a mixing bowl and beat until light and creamy. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the maple syrup a little at a time and beat for about 5 minutes until the mixture is golden and creamy.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla. Gradually add this to the maple butter mixture with the mixer running at medium speed. Once fully added, continue to beat for a couple of minutes until well incorporated.
4. Sift the dry ingredients into the mixture and bring together using your hands. Turn out onto a floured surface and gently combine, taking care not to overwork the dough. The dough will be sticky. Divide into two flat discs, wrap in clingfilm, and chill for 40 minutes.
5. Roll out one dough disc on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 3mm. Using a 6cm cookie cutter, cut out rounds. Re roll the trimmings as needed. Use a small heart or round cutter to remove the centre from half of the biscuits and reserve the cut outs for decoration. Chill the prepared trays for 20 minutes.
6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
7. To make the filling, beat the butter and maple butter together until smooth and creamy.
8. Spread the maple butter filling over the base biscuits, add a dollop of strawberry jam in the centre, then sandwich with the cut out biscuits. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
