What about homemade jammie dodgers.

Good question. Me Mum sometimes made something that might be considered open face Jammie Dodgers. It was a basic butter sugar recipe that takes two sticks of butter, except you left out one stick and substituted a stick of cream cheese instead.
From the basic recipe two routes were taken- either almond extract was added, and each cookie was topped by an almond, or the recipe was left unflavored, and the cookie topped with jam, or a candied cherry, or even a hazelnut.
Supposedly adding the cream cheese would keep the cookies moist for a couple of months, but we would go all walrus and carpenter on them, and find that we had eaten every one in very short order.
