Ginger & Orange Marmalade Thumbprint Cookies

I am bonkers for orange and ginger marmalade, but it was Andy who had the idea to use it in my thumbprint Christmas cookies. Excellent idea. Also, I wanted to try this recipe with an egg for those of you who prefer that, and I used coconut sugar to see if it would work. I had to add a tablespoon of water to get the dough to stick with the coconut sugar (rather than honey), and then it was good to go. If you prefer an egg-free version, click here to see my original thumbprint cookie recipe.
