We prepared three batches of shortbread using a different zest in each, then cut each kind into a different shape.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, slightly softened
2/3 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange, lemon, or lime zest
1 teaspoon pure orange, lemon, or lime extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until light-colored and fluffy. Beat in sugar, zest, and matching extract.
  • Mix together flour and salt and mix into butter mixture on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Knead a few times on a lightly floured board and roll out to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut into desired shapes with well-floured cookie cutters and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Prick each cookie with a fork a few times and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake shortbread for about 20 minutes, or until it just begins to brown. Cool completely on a rack. Shortbread will keep for a few weeks in an airtight container.
