1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 190°C (375ºfF). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

   Tip: Whisk until well combined.

   In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for best results.

4. 4

   Add the orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Mix until well combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to add too much juice.

5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

   Tip: Do not overmix.

6. 6

   Fold in the chocolate chips and orange marmalade.

   Tip: Do not overmix.

7. 7

   Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2cm of space between each cookie.

   Tip: Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies.

8. 8

   Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

   Tip: Do not overbake.

9. 9

   Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

   Tip: Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. 10

    Once the cookies are cool, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

    Tip: Optional, but adds a nice textural element.
