Jam sandwich biscuits?

morganb

Anyone got a recipe for jam sandwich biscuits?
Do I bake the biscuits seperately, then add the jam and sandwich OR do I layer biscuit, jam, biscuit then bake?
My 4 year old wants to buy them from the school tuck shop (not at 30p a biscuit!!) and as far as I can work out from his description, they are a tray bake of some description; as he says 'rectangle with jam in the middle'.
Any suggestions gratefully received!!
