rosemary-fennel cookies with marmalade

I came up with these sandwich cookies to add to the cookie tins I put together for holiday gifts this year--I wanted something bright to balance out the dark chocolate and spice cookies I had already included, and also something a little bit special. They turned out to be the unanimous favorite.
<br />
<br />I was lucky enough to stumble on some bergamot oranges just as I was dreaming these up, and the mild, floral flavor of the marmalade they made worked beautifully in this cookie. But unless you care to track down some bergamots, regular oranges are perfectly fine, and will still make a delicious cookie. If you want something a little more special, you might try blood oranges, or even Meyer lemons.
<br />
<br />The cookie recipe is adapted from one of my favorites: Martha Stewart's Rosemary Butter cookies. I added a little fennel to the mix and turned them into cut-out cookies.
