Almond And Marmalade Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and marmalade until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

5. Gently fold in the chopped almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

7. Roll each cookie ball in additional granulated sugar, coating it lightly.

8. Place the coated cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

9. Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

11. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Once cooled, store the Almond and Marmalade Cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
