Tender and buttery with a hint of sweet orange marmalade. Think buttery biscuits. That’s what these cookies taste like. With a cake-like texture, they go best with your favorite tea. Don’t be fooled by the plain appearance, they taste great. I had them for tea with my earl grey. Oh, so buttery.. as much as I would like to resist, I can’t help going for seconds or thirds!
The recipe asked for ¼ cup of apricot jam which I replaced with sweet orange marmalade. You can replace it with any jam or marmalade you can get on hand. The marmalade in the cookies are very subtle, detectable only when I chewed those with the orange peel. I had wanted to add more but I’m left with only that much in the jar. This recipe has to be the easiest among all the recipes in the book I’ve attempted so far. The dough is thick and stay in shape. No more chilling and rolling of the dough like the previous cookies. Simply just scoop them onto the baking sheet with a spoon or scoop once the dough is done. Easy peasy! These cookies don’t spread much in the oven so you can bake as many as you like on one sheet.
Heather of Randomosity and the Girl chose this recipe for this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie. I say, this is a good pick!

What an usual cookie- What with jam mixed right in, and they look almost cakey! Sounds very good though.

Beautiful Didally!
Your pictures are always so pleasant to admire!
You’re right.. a perfect cookie for tea, and not made for the sweetest of the sweet tooth… perhaps a very British cookie!
Lovely!

that first picture really caught my eye when i saw it in my reader. it looks like it’s from a magazine.
I came across your blog through Piggy’s cooking Journal. I like your pictures’ style. I am not a regular cookies baker however I would love to try some of the TWD recipes sometimes!

These look perfect! I’m a fan of butter cookies, but to pair them with marmalade sounds like a great idea
Here’s wishing you a great new year ahead!

Butter is the key, isn’t it?
Imagine the aroma it fills the kitchen with, when you are baking it….awesome!
