Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Packed light brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 grams Mandarin orange marmalade
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Mandarin orange zest
- 30 grams Powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well incorporated.
Mix in the mandarin orange marmalade and mandarin orange zest, stirring gently until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of 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 tops appear slightly puffed.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
