TWD: Butter Jam Cookies, Perfect for Tea
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!
