Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 x 13-inch pan.
Beat together butter, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time and mix until well blended. Stir in 1 cup of the pecans (mixture will be crumbly). Place 1 cup of mixture in small bowl and add remaining 1/3 cup nuts. Set aside for topping.
Press remaining mixture over bottom of buttered pan. Bake 15 minutes. Cool.
Beat cream cheese in large mixing bowl until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and 3/4 cup of the marmalade. Spread cooled cookie base with remaining 3/4 cup marmalade. Pour cream cheese mixture over top, spreading evenly. Top with reserved nut mixture.
