Shrewsbury Biscuit - Jamie Dodgers

As a child I loved eating Jamie Dodgers and now they are the only cookies I bake for so many good reasons.  Firstly, all ingredients are always in the pantry. Secondly, the dough is made in the food processor so, I don't need to worry about creaming butter and sugar and the dough is easy to roll as it is a soft dough.  Lastly, the cookies are presentable and have that special home made feel to them.  One batch goes a long way and baking them is only 10 minutes!  This is always on my baking calender for Ayyam-i-Ha or Naw Ruz.
