Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C). Grease a 17 x 12 x 1-inch (43 x 30 x 2.54 cm)+ baking sheet with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1½ cups of caster sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the egg yolks and beat until fluffy.
- Add the amaretto, lemon zest, and orange zest and beat until just combined.
- Gradually add the flour and salt and mix on low speed until no dry spots remain, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Spread the dough evenly on the prepared pan, making sure the top is as smooth as possible. Brush the dough with the egg white, then sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn off the oven and let the cookies cool inside for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and cut while slightly warm.
- Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

CITRUS SHORTBREAD COOKIES
This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law, one of the best cooks I know...and given that we're from south Louisiana, that's saying something. With the chopped up dried cranberries, these are as pretty as they are tasty.

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.

MICHELLE OBAMA'S SHORTBREAD COOKIES
I didn't hear about the Presidential Cookie Bake-Off that Family Circle Magazine holds during election years until this year (you can find out more about that on their website). Apparently the spouses of the candidates submit a favorite cookie recipe for people to vote for. When I saw this recipe that Michelle Obama submitted, from a close family friend of hers, I knew I had to make it. I haven't quit making it since - friends, co-workers, and family are always asking for it. When I had my first bite of it out of the oven, I had to cut and wrap them quickly, or else the delicious smell would quite likely have me eating them all myself. This is definitely going on my Christmas cookie platter this year... and every year!
