  1. 1Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. 3Once combined, add the baking soda water mixture and mix for another minute to combine.
  4. 4Combine dry ingredients; mix baking powder, cinnamon, flour and salt in a separate bowl then add to the wet ingredients a little at a time, mixing on low until fully combined and scraping down the sides to ensure everything is incorporated. The dough should be easily shaped.
  5. 5Portion dough with a small spoon, roll them into balls and place them on the lined cookie sheet, press them into flat discs using a floured glass or your moistened palm.
  6. 6Place cookies on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 10-12 mins. Remove from the oven and let them cool for at least 10 minutes.
  7. 7Once cooled the cookie sandwiches by spreading at least two teaspoons of your favourite jam between the two cookies. Repeat and enjoy with a cup of tea.
