CITRUS SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside. Beat the butter and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts and orange zest. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the cranberries; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
• Divide the dough into 2 equal portions, then roll into logs about 7 inches long. Wrap each log in wax paper or plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove wax paper, and cut the cookie dough into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm but not browned, about 10 minutes.

• Sift flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar together in a bowl. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until dough is well-blended. Roll dough into walnut-size balls and place on prepared baking sheets. Press dough balls to slightly flatten.

CITRUS BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line the base and sides of a shallow rectangular tin (about 23 x 33cm) with baking parchment, snipping the corners so that it comes up the sides of the tin. Tip the flour, sugar and butter into a food processor and whizz until it forms fine crumbs. Tip into the prepared tin and smoothly level with the back of a metal spoon, pressing it down lightly. Bake for 20-25 mins until pale golden.
• To make the topping, finely grate the zest from the lemons and orange and squeeze out all the juice. Measure the juice - you need 120ml. Whisk together the eggs and sugar using an electric whisk for 1 min, then add the citrus zest and juices, and whisk again briefly. Sift in the flour and whisk well to mix. Pour over the shortbread and bake for 15-20 mins until the topping has just set. Cool completely in the tin, then lift out of the tin using the lining paper. Dust thickly with icing sugar and cut into 3 down the length and 6 across to make 18 bars.

ORANGE & LEMON BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with Reynolds® Parchment Paper; set aside.
• Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the egg, orange peel, lemon peel, and vanilla and beat until well blended.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add half of flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined. Add the milk. Beat about 10 seconds. Beat in the remaining flour mixture until just combined.
• Drop tablespoon-size mounds of dough on prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set and the bottoms are browned. Transfer the cookies on the parchment paper to a wire rack; cool completely.
• Drizzle with Citrus Glaze to serve.
• Citrus Glaze: In a small bowl combine melted butter and orange juice. Add powdered sugar; beat until smooth. If necessary, add more orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, to make drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cookies.

CITRUS MARMALADE AND BUTTERMILK BISCUITS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the marmalade: Wash the citrus thoroughly with warm water and scrub to remove any dirt or wax. Cut the stem ends off the fruits and then dice, discarding the seeds. Transfer the fruit to a large saucepan.
• Add the sugar, lemon zest and juice, and vanilla bean pod and seeds to the saucepan with the citrus. Pour in enough water to cover the fruit. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a strong simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is very soft, about 45 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture back to a boil. Cook until the temperature reaches 220°F (105°C), about 30 minutes. Remove the marmalade from the heat and stir in the cognac. Let cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. The marmalade will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9 x 13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and kosher salt. Place a box grater in the center of the bowl and grate the chilled butter directly into the flour. Remove the box grater and pour the buttermilk into the bowl. Toss with your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and flatten into a small square. Use a bench scraper to cut the dough in half and stack one half on top of the other, then press down again. Continue cutting and stacking until all of the flour is hydrated, about 4 times total. Once the dough comes together, roll out to about 2 inches thick. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out 12 rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the biscuits until the tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with the melted butter, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
• Serve the biscuits warm with the marmalade alongside for spreading.
• Enjoy!
