Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups orange marmalade
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined.
Mix in the orange marmalade, ensuring it is evenly incorporated.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies should remain soft in the center.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to rest for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
