Marmalade Cookies

These were really good, but more like a soft biscuit than a cookie. Not sweet, and I would have added a glaze, but my husband liked them the way they were. They were for Christmas goody trays, and we figured they offset the other sweets on the tray. They were easy to make and I got more than 24. And as Bonjo pointed out, there were no cooking times given. I baked on parchment lined sheets for 7-9 minutes.

I think the recipe should have some salt added; taste was a little flat. Easy to make though I found that rounded teaspoons of dough made small almost bite size cookies which were great for the party I made them for. I also glazed them with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar, vanilla and water. This made them look more festive. Next time I will use chocolate flavored glaze. There were no pan instructions so I baked them on cookie sheets covered in parchment paper.

What a novel concept. . . marmalade in a cookie. I only had 1/2 cup marmalade so I used a half cup of blueberry jam as well. What neat and tasty green cookies I created. I'm sure there will be many comments about them at tomorrow's pool party!! Thanks Denise.

I have not tried this recipe. I got my copy of this recipe from Fundcraft fundraiser books. The copy I have is slightly different. They are called Maine Marmalade Cookies. It calls for 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 cup raisins. The rest of the ingredients are the the same. The bake directions are different it says to bake them at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Thanks for posting.
