Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread the cookie dough out on a cookie sheet to 1/4-inch thickness (about 9 inches by 12 inches) using your fingertips. Bake for 25 minutes. Let cool.

Spread the marmalade over the cookie. Sprinkle with nuts.

In a double boiler over very lightly simmering water, melt the chocolate. Dip a spoon in the melted chocolate and drizzle on top of the cookie. Let cool. Cut the cookie into 12 bars or squares. Serve or store in an airtight container.

    Cookie recipe was OK, but not great. Used store bought cookie dough and made sure it was completely cooled. I used apricot, blackberry and raspberry preserves, orange marmalade and toasted walnuts. I did have trouble with the chocolate melting. I refrigerated overnite without cutting up and cut into squares the next day. The cookie dough was hard to cut and the longer they sat out, the softer the dough got and started to fall apart. My husband said they were good, but commented they fell apart easily. Had to be kept refrigerated until ready to serve. Finally, I did win first prize at cookie exchange for most appetizing looking cookies; however, I will pick an easier to make and transport cookie.

    I am so disappointed in this recipe. I would give this zero stars if it would let me. I was excited to try something quick and easy for my holiday cookie tray, but aside from being quick and easy, it was absolutely horrible. These have no flavor and the store-bought cookie dough is awful. I usually bake everything from scratch and this was a huge reminder why. I tried the orange/chocolate combo as well as apricot/white chocolate and both were flavorless and overly sweet. I read other reviews that concur with this assessment, but chose to ignore them. I wish I had listened to those of you who gave the poor reviews - you were right! I threw the whole pan out. Total waste of time and money!

    I have made this recipe several times and it is always a hit! I use a sugar cookie mix, because I like to add cinnamon to the cookie base. These cookies are beautiful and very yummy!
