MANDARIN ORANGE MARMALADE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F & Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpats.
• Whisk together flour and baking powder in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Place butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and blend with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture appears grainy but well-mixed.
• Add egg and orange marmalade, beating until smooth; reduce mixer speed to low and add flour mixture and mandarin oranges.
• Mix only until combined; do not overmix.
• Fold in white chocolate chips; chill mixture for 30 to 60 minutes to firm up.
• Drop tablespoons of dough onto prepared cookie sheets, placing cookies 1-1/2 inches apart.
• Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until bottoms just begin to brown.
• Let rest on cookie sheets for 5 minutes before using a spatula to move them to racks.
• Cool to room temperature and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
