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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well incorporated.

Step 4

Mix in the mandarin orange marmalade and mandarin orange zest, stirring gently until combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops appear slightly puffed.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Optional: Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.

Step 11

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
