jammy dodger
Jam-filled British cookie
A jammy dodger is a British biscuit consisting of two shortbread rounds sandwiched together with raspberry jam, the top layer featuring a small heart-shaped cutout that reveals the filling.
The name extends colloquially to mean a lucky person—someone who dodges trouble through good fortune: He got away with it again, the jammy dodger.
