Orange Marmalade Cookies

I love these! I mean this week was the first time that I ever made them, but I really like them. The icing is awesome too! For these delightful cookies, I tweaked another orange marmalade cookie recipe.

Orange Marmalade Cookies (yields 3-4 dozen)
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. spent grain flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 c. orange marmalade

ICING:
3 tbsp. butter, softened
3 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. orange juice
1 tsp. orange zest
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. lemon zest

Preheat oven to 300F.

Beat butter on low speed in a stand mixer and add sugar until creamy.  Add eggs and mix well.

Meanwhile, in a seperate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.  Add in increments into the mixer bowl.  Add marmalade and mix well.

Drop cookie dough by the rounded teaspoon onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in a preheated oven for 9 minutes.  Rotate 180F and bake 9 minutes longer until lightly browned.  Cool on pan for a few minutes and then transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely. 

FOR ICING:

Cream butter and 1 cup of the powdered sugar.  Add the remaining two cups and lightly mix.  Add the zests and juices and finish mixing the icing till everything is throuroughly combined.

Ice the cookies.  I found that one batch of icing was not enough and ended up making a second batch; however I had some icing left over.

Enjoy!
