Instrucciones para la impresión en alta definición
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with lightly oiled parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, maple syrup, orange juice, oil, almond extract, and orange zest if used. Stir with a rubber spatula, then lightly oil your hands and squeeze the dough to form a consistent cookie dough.
- If the dough is too dry and crumbly, add a little more orange juice one teaspoon at a time, knead until the dough is soft, sticky, but forms a ball. If too wet, add more almond flour.
- Oil your hands, scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough, roll it between your hands, and place it on the cookie sheet. Leave one inch between each cookie ball. Repeat this until you form 12 balls, oiling your hands as needed, as the dough is quite sticky.
- Flatten each dough ball with your hand, then use the back of a measuring teaspoon (or your thumb) to lightly press and create a small cavity in the center of each cookie. When you press, the sides of the cookies will crack; that's normal. You can use your fingers to pat and reshape the sides nicely, or keep it cracked.
- Fill each cavity with about 1/2 teaspoon of marmalade, or up to 3/4 of the cavity. Don't overfill or it run out of the cavity as they bake.
- Bake the cookies on the center rack of the oven for 12-15 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until the edges are just turning golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool down completely on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes and on a cooling rack for another 30 minutes.
- Serve plain, or dust powdered sugar on top to increase their sweetness.

Ingredientes y sustituciones
Solo necesitas 5 ingredientes sencillos para preparar esta receta. Aquí te explicamos cómo elegirlos y sustituirlos.

- Harina de almendra – This creates the gluten-free base of the cookies, giving them a wonderfully soft and tender texture. Almond meal also works, but the cookies will be a bit darker and grainier.
- Jarabe de arce – This provides a clean, natural sweetness to the cookie dough. You can easily substitute it with another liquid sweetener like agave syrup or coconut nectar.
- Zumo de naranja recién exprimido – This adds moisture and the main bright, citrus flavor. I find that using fresh juice with a little pulp gives the best and most authentic orange taste.
- Aceite de oliva de sabor suave – This adds necessary fat, which helps create a soft texture and brings the dough together. Another low-flavor oil or melted plant-based butter are also great options.
- Extracto de almendra – This is optional, but I highly recommend it as it really enhances the nutty almond flavor of the cookies.
- Cáscara de naranja – This adds an extra punch of tangy orange flavor. It does have a slightly bitter note, so you can add it based on your personal preference.
- Mermelada de Naranja – This is the sweet and gooey filling for the thumbprint center. I like using a no-added-sugar marmalade to keep the cookies wholesome.

Consejos de repostería de Carine
Permítanme compartirles algunos consejos más para lograr galletas perfectas.
- Boost The Flavor – To really make these cookies stand out, I recommend using both the optional almond extract and the orange zest. The extract deepens the nutty almond taste, while the zest adds a bright, tangy orange kick.
- Healthier Filling – For a less sweet cookie, look for an orange marmalade that is made with no added sugar and is instead sweetened with fruit juice.
- Agregar chocolate – After the cookies have cooled, you can drizzle melted dark chocolate over the marmalade center. I just pop them in the fridge for a few minutes to let the chocolate set.
- Citrus & Jam Swaps – You can easily change up the flavors! Mandarin or tangelo juice works as a direct substitute for orange. For a tarter cookie, try using 2 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice and adding an extra tablespoon of oil. I have really enjoyed pairing lemon with blueberry jam and lime with raspberry jam.
- Fresh is Best – For the most vibrant orange flavor, I always recommend using freshly squeezed orange juice. The little bits of pulp in the juice really make a difference in the final taste of the cookies.



Made a quick batch for morning tea for work yesterday. So love these cookies. I quite surprised myself. As I am not an orange marmalade fan. It was fun making them.
I am so happy these cookies made you love orange marmalade!
I used raspberry marmalade for the filling and added a little baking powder. Mine tasted like coconut guava cookie a done baking, very interesting 9/10 according to my adult daughter. I give it a 6-7 overall ok, with few ingredients
Raspberry and orange sounds like an interesting flavor. That might be the reason why you didn’t enjoy it as much as a fully orange flavor cookie.
perfect! I would like to try with organic unrefined cane sugar: should I melt it first?
Gracias!
I made 2 batches with brown sugar, did not melt it or anything and they were delicious! Granted, I have no idea what they’d be like if made with a liquid sweetener.
I am so glad it work well this way!
Thank you! Unfortunately, you can’t swap a liquid sweetener for crystal sweetener. So yes, you would need to for a liquid cane sugar but I am not sure how it will impact their texture.
Gracias!
¡El gusto es mio!
