Orange Marmalade Cookies Recipe

Orange Marmalade Cookies Recipe

  • For the cookie dough:
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup CRISCO® Shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup SMUCKER'S® Sweet Orange Marmalade
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the frosting:
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine (at room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup SMUCKER'S® Sweet Orange Marmalade
  • orange juice (to thin frosting if necessary)
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, shortening and eggs; beat until well mixed. Add sour cream and marmalade; mix well. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour or until cool.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees and coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Prepare frosting; in a medium mixing bowl, beat all frosting ingredients together, adding orange juice only as needed to make frosting spreadable. Set frosting aside.
  3. Remove dough from refrigerator. Using a teaspoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned on edges. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
  4. Frost each cooled cookie.
