Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix in the marmalade until just combined.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until no dry flour is visible.
Fold in the old fashioned oats and optional add-ins like cinnamon, chopped walnuts, or white chocolate chips.
Baking
Scoop dough into balls, space them on the prepared baking sheet, and bake for about 9 to 12 minutes.
Remove from the oven when the edges are set but the centers look slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days. To keep them soft, add a small piece of bread to the container. They can also be frozen for later enjoyment.
