Ginger Orange Shortbread
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
pinch salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
extra confections sugar for topping
Add butter to bowl. With electric beater at high
speed, cream butter and sugar mixture until well blended. At low speed,
add flour and mix until a dough is formed.
Spray a terracotta shortbread mold or a cookie sheet
with nonstick cooking spray. Press dough into mold and prick with
a fork in several places, or with hands, press and form dough into a 9-inch
circle on cookie sheet, then with tines of fork, prick dough all around to form
a decorative pattern.
Bake 30-35 minutes until very lightly browned.
Let stand on wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. If using mold, run a knife
around mold to loosen, then invert onto a serving plate. If using cookie
sheet, slide shortbread onto a serving plate. Lightly sift
confectioners sugar over shortbread, then cut into 8 wedges.
