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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and orange marmalade to the creamed butter mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the orange zest for a burst of citrus flavor.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Allow the glaze to set for 10 minutes before serving.
