Orange Marmalade Cookies

- Ready In:
- 18mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
40
ingredients
- 1⁄3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2⁄3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 6 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a cookie sheet (I just use parchment paper).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg and orange marmalade and mix until thoroughly combined. Add additional marmalade if the batter is too stiff.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. With the mixer running, slowly add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture until blended.
- Drop by spoonfuls on the cookie sheet; do not crowd the cookies as the batter will spread during baking. Bake until the cookies spread out and are lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.
- Cool a minute or two on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
- *The original yield was 40 cookies, but I must have made them a little large, because I only ended up with 22.

So easy and so yummy! What a great cookie, almost reminded me of a madeline in texture. I have to admit I did add about a 1/2 t of salt and some vanilla extract. I can't seem to make cookies without those so I added them here as well. Also added some chocolate glaze too, since chocolate and orange is one of my favorite flavor combinations. Great way to use up some leftover marmalade!

I was looking for a recipe that would use up the overabundance of marmalade I made this winter, and stumbled across this recipe. I used a Tbsp to measure out the dough, and even that must be too big, because I ended up with only 20 cookies... 20 absolutely delicious, perfectly light and moist cookies! Thank you Gayla, I will definitely be making these again!

I really love these cookies. They are very light and not overly sweet. However, as you can see by my photo....they didn't turn out like the originals. Probably because I did some substituting. I used margarine instead of butter, and Splenda in place of the sugar. I expect that's why they didn't spread. Instead, I ended up with these wonderful little 'pillows' of orange. They are so wonderful. I will try these again as written, but....I really love my "little pillows". :D Thanks GaylaJ this is a real keeper!!!!
