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.
