Subj : Chocolate Orange Thumbprints To : All From : Ben Collver Date : Thu Nov 27 2025 08:23:22 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Chocolate Orange Thumbprints Categories: Cookies Yield: 12 Cookies 50 g Butter; plus a little extra - to grease the baking sheet 2 tb Sugar 2 tb Cocoa powder 1 md Egg 8 tb Self-raising flour 8 ts Orange marmalade Preheat the oven to 180?C/fan 160?C/350?F/gas 4 and lightly grease a small baking tray or cookie sheet. Weigh the baking spread into a mixing bowl and add your sugar and cocoa. Beat well with a fork or wooden spoon until well combined and even. Add the egg and mix again, taking care to incorporate it well into the mixture. Add the flour, 2 tb at a time, mixing well until it forms a soft, pliable dough. Take a walnut-sized piece and roll it into a ball to test its structural integrity. A little crumbling at the edges is to be expected, and indeed is part of the particular charm of this recipe, but any more than a little will need a very small splash of water added to the dough to bring it together. A teaspoon should suffice, if required. With lightly floured or oiled hands, take a walnut-sized piece of dough and place it on your prepared baking tray. Flatten it twice with a fork, then repeat with the remaining dough. I weigh the entire lump of dough and divide it by 12, then weigh each individual piece to make sure they are even, but I am ridiculous, and this is by no means essential. It is very satisfying, though! Repeat with the rest of the dough, and when you have used it all up, make a large dent in the centre of each biscuit with your thumb--and be bold about it; the larger the print, the more marmalade it holds! Spoon a little marmalade into each indent--it will melt and spread out in the hot oven, so don't worry about being too neat about it. Bake in the centre of the oven for 12 minutes, and allow to cool for 10 minutes to let the marmalade return to a non-volcanic temperature before tucking in! To Keep: These will keep in an airtight container for 4 days, or in the freezer almost indefinitely, but they don't tend to stay around that long.
