Sweet Shortbread Spirals - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
7 tbsp cold butter, chopped coarsely
1 1/3 cups flour
1 None egg yolk
1 tbsp milk
1 1/2 cups fruit mincemeat
1/4 cup apricot jam, warmed and strained

Preparation

Process the sugar, butter and sifted flour in food processor until crumbly. Add the egg yolk and milk and process until combined. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 mins.
Meanwhile, process fruit mincemeat until finely chopped.
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to 12 x 10-inch rectangle. Spread the fruit mincemeat evenly over the rectangle, leaving a 1/4 inch border. Using the paper as a guide, roll rectangle tightly from short side to enclose filling. Wrap the roll in parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 mins.
Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F. Grease two baking pans and line with parchment paper.
Trim the edges of the roll. Cut the roll into 1/4-inch slices. Place the slices, cut-side up, on prepared pans.
Bake about 20 mins. Cool in pans on a wire rack. Brush tops with jam.
