I have no idea if this is the same cookie you were looking for, but it's worth a shot. I know you said Jammie Dodgers, but I didn't typo, this book says Jammie Bodgers smileys/smile.gif
I linked a book from Amazon - it's from the same authors, but I think my book must be a different version of it, my book has over 400 recipes, the one on Amazon says over 300.
Jammie Bodgers
Makes 20 cookies
"These buttery cookies are an absolute classic. Sandwiched with buttercreand and a generous spoonful of strawberry jam, they make a perfect snack with a glass of milk at teatime, or are equally good wrapped tightly, and popped in a lunchbox as a post-sandwich treat."
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
2/3 cup superfine sugar
1 egg yolk
For the filling:
1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, diced
scant 1 cup confectioners' sugar
4-5 tablespoons strawberry jam
Put the flour and butter in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and egg yolk and process until the mixture starts to form a dough.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350º. Grease 2 baking sheets.
Roll out the dough thinly on a lightly floured surface and cut out rounds using a 2 1/2" cookie cutter. Re-roll the trimmings and cut out more rounds until you have 40.
Place half the cookie rounds on a prepared baking sheet. Usinga small heart shaped cookie cutter, about 3/4" in diameter, cut out the centres of the remaining rounds. Place these rounds on the second baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes, until pale golden, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
To make the buttercream, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Using a palette knife (metal spatula), spread a little buttercream onto each whole cookie. Spoon a little jam onto the buttercream, then gently press the cut-out cookies on top, so that the jam fills the heart shaped hole.
Hope this helps!
