Custard Cream Cookies Recipe derived from a Recipe out of one of my cookbooks from a Recipe called Jelly Biscuits. There were some minor adjustments to accommodate the flavor and look. The original recipe called for rolled oats to which I used whole wheat flour in its place with the same exact measurements. The original recipe sandwiched with jelly or jam. However, I made a butter cream filling to form a custard cream filling. The original recipe also called for oval shape with two cut out circles for jam to show through, but I used a round cookie cutter of 1 7/8 in 48 mm size and sandwiched two cookies with the filling. Thank you "Cookery In Colour A picture encyclopedia for occasion edits by Marguerite Patten" for the ideas to diversify recipes in similarity.
