My mother had this recipe in her cookie collection and she and I began baking these when I was a young teen. There is no sugar among the ingredients, just the subtle taste of marmalade to add sweetness. It's a soft cookie with an interesting combination of orange and chocolate.

ORANGE MARMALADE COOKIES



Orange Marmalade Cookies image

Just a simple cookie recipe I found online while searching for recipes that use orange marmalade. My son loved them, as he said they reminded him of the Orange Crescent Swirls (recipe #94879), posted by winkki, that he dearly loves. Results may vary depending on the type of the marmalade you use, and whether it is on the sweet or bitter side. Textures also vary, and if your marmalade is the type that has large pieces of peel, I would suggest chopping them up before mixing in the batter.

Time 18m

Yield 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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.

NEIMAN MARCUS' ORANGE MARMALADE COOKIES



Neiman Marcus' Orange Marmalade Cookies image

Helen Corbitt, Neimans first chef, developed this recipe back in the 50's; and it's still as good as ever. The secret is to ice the cookies when they have completely cooled; you can spread a thicker layer of icing that sets up well and won't smear. The recipe was adapted from the book, Neiman Marcus Taste.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use store-bought orange juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Be sure to zest the oranges before you juice them. The zest is where most of the flavor is.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges and the tops are set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These chunky orange marmalade cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat to bake, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
