Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together marmalade, butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt until the marmalade is smooth.
- Step 3
Using a flexible spatula, stir in the flour and oats, mixing until the flour is well incorporated and there are no more streaks of white. It will be a thick batter.
- Step 4
Place heaping tablespoonfuls of the batter onto the baking sheets, spacing them evenly apart. Bake until the cookies are golden at the edges but still soft in the center, 9 to 13 minutes. Transfer pans to wire racks to cool.

Saw this recipe and had to make immediately because I’m a marmalade fanatic (just wait till your forties, haters). Enough Robertson’s Seville Orange in the fridge for one batch. So fast, so easy, so chewy. Perfect cookie for a quick! 5 stars.
I made as written. I used good orange marmalade but did not get much citrus flavor. I like the idea of adding citrus to oatmeal cookies so I will try again. I think white sugar would allow more orange flavor to come through - the molasses in the brown sugar overwhelms. I also will add orange zest and/or chopped up candied orange peel.
I really like this recipe! I used homemade Meyer lemon marmalade and added some chopped candied ginger to the batter. I also put little dab of marmalade on top of each ball before baking. I think this helped give a more distinctive marmalade flavor.
My husband doesn’t like marmalade, but liked these. Very reminicent of old fashioned lace cookies. Used Bon Maman marmalade. Also added 1/4 t cardamom (because I like it with orange). Used the wrong size scoop, so only got 18 cookies. Which might not be a bad thing, because they won’t be tempting us for long! Great cookie to make when you have to whip something together quickly. Think it would be delicious crumbled over plain or vanilla yogurt for an impromptu dessert.
Delicious and quick! I doubled the marmalade and only had 6 T. butter in the house. Turned out perfect and did not spread. Next time will add orange zest punch up the flavor.
Loved this cookies! I added some chopped chocolate to half the batch (couldn’t help myself) and they were delicious, though my husband preferred the ones without chocolate. I love marmalade so upped the amount. I also swapped in half a cup of oat flour.
