Apelsinsnittar Orange Slices Cookies

Instructions

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

2. Add the egg and fresh orange zest to the butter mixture, combining well.

3. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together, then gradually add it to the wet ingredients until a smooth dough forms.

4. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a log about 1.5 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

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

6. Remove the chilled dough logs from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.

7. Place the cookie rounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each. Use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.

8. Fill the indentations with a small amount of orange marmalade, taking care not to overfill.

9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

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

11. Once cooled, dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar for a festive finish.
