Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 pieces large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups orange marmalade
- 0.75 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoons zest of an orange
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
Mix in the orange marmalade and orange zest until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. Avoid over-baking to ensure soft cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Chocolate and Orange Marmalade Cookies as a sweet treat or gift for friends!
