Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Orange marmalade
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Orange juice (for optional glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and orange marmalade to the creamed butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the orange zest for a burst of citrus flavor.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to 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. The centers may look slightly underdone, but they will set as the cookies cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For an optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag.
Allow the glaze to set for 10 minutes before serving.
