Orange Nut Sugar Cookie Squares

Ingredients

* 1 package store bought sugar cookie dough ( or make your own favorite recipe-enough to spread in the bottom of a cookie sheet)

* 1 cup orange marmalade (I use sugar free or low sugar)

* 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts (we like macadamia or hazelnuts) walnuts would be good too !

* 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips ( any chocolate will do-even white)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Make cookie dough according to directions on package. Spread the cookie dough out on a cookie sheet to 1/4-inch thickness  (about 9 inches by12 inches) using your fingertips. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Let cool.

Spread the marmalade over the cookie. Sprinkle with nuts.

Melt the chocolate chips, either in a double boiler over lightly simmering water or place them in a zip top qt size baggie and melt in microwave using the defrost button.   Dip a spoon in the melted chocolate and drizzle on top of the cookie–or if using baggie just cut a corner off and drizzle. Let cool. Cut the cookie into 18-24 squares. Serve or store in airtight container.  VERY ADDICTING!!

I am printing this right now and buying some marmalade tomorrow. Unless Suzanne has enough to go around.

I have some homemade rasberry jam-I'm going to try that drizzled with dark chocolate! Yum!

Apricot with coconut and white chocolate, cream cheese and strawberry jam, blueberry with  lemon zest.  Oh, my head is spinning with all the combinations that can be combined on this base. Too bad we can't have a taste test to try them all. LOL . I'll be the first to volunteer
