I have a confession – I freaking LOVE watching Bon Appetit Test Kitchen Youtube videos (RIP). Watching these videos intrigued me to start testing out popular recipes. In December 2019 (before the world ended), New York Times Cooking came out with a bunch of cookies to make for a holiday cookie exchange. When I saw these beautiful cookies, I decided to try them out. This was a pretty bold move for me, considering prior to this point I have only ever made super easy chocolate chip cookies. Regardless, I was up for the challenge and M was ready to be my taste tester.
Making these Blood Orange Window Pane Cookies was a challenge, but I was pretty pleased at the outcome! They definitely werenāt as sweet as I expected, but they were appetizing nevertheless. There were some tips that I learned along the way:
Don’t roll out the cookie layers too thin – they’ll turn out super dry!
The blood orange marmalade was tasty, but choosing another marmalade/fruit preserve might make these sweeter.
If you choose to add powdered sugar (I didnāt add it for mine), dust your top layer of cookies prior to placing them over the fruit marmalade. This will preserve the preserves (LOL) so that they donāt get cloudy with powdered sugar.
You can use any cookie cutter shape that you want – be creative!
