    Thanks for this, years ago I remembered some store bought cookies that had some sort of jelly in the middle that you could see on top, no one knew the name of them and thus couldn’t find them again until this post. Now either make some or look to buy some in the future.

    Is this the Raspberrypi everyone keeps talking about?

  6. These look great! And that’s the correct jam to shortbread ratio imo.
