My family likes a soft cookie, and this recipe is one of their favorites. The frosting is so pretty and the marmalade is flavorful, plus it keeps the cookies nice and tender. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream |
1/2 cup orange marmalade |
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
frosting: |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup orange marmalade |
3 cups confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine sour cream and orange marmalade; set aside. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream mixture and mix well.
2. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
3. For frosting, in a small bowl, combine butter and marmalade. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until blended. Frost cookies. Yield: 6-1/2 dozen.
