Sweet Pea’s marmalade cookies

The frosting was done by an impressionist

We always have marmalade on hand. Sadly, a recent batch didn’t quite set. I followed my own instructions to the letter, the marmalade gods were just mad that day. So I was tickled to see a cookie recipe over at Sweet Pea’s Kitchen that called for a cup of marmalade. That’s one jar down. And look they turned out just wonderfully. We didn’t tinker with a thing. Thanks, Sweet Pea!

Marmalade Cookies

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup orange marmalade
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

frosting

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup orange marmalade
• 3 cups confectioners’ sugar

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine yogurt and orange marmalade; set aside. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with marmalade mixture and mix well. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. For frosting, in a small bowl, combine butter and marmalade. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar until blended. Frost cookies.
