Yield Makes 15 sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

Grated zest of 1 Ruby Red grapefruit, plus 1/4 cup freshly squeezed juice
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
3/4 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 large egg yolks
Pink Grapefruit Cream Filling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a small bowl, combine zest with 1 tablespoon sugar; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together both flours, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and remaining sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add egg yolks, and beat until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in reserved zest-sugar mixture. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the juice, and beat to combine.
  • Turn out dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, and shape into a 1-inch-thick disk. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out disk to 1/8 inch thick using a lightly floured rolling pin. Using a lightly floured 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out rounds and place about 1 inch apart on prepared sheet. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until edges are golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack to cool 5 minutes. Transfer parchment paper and cookies to rack to cool completely.
  • Using an offset spatula, spread 1 tablespoon filling onto flat sides of half the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies, keeping flat sides down. Once filled, cookies can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dense. I'm going to try again using a different recipe.

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I might try adding an extra egg yolk next time.

I'm not a fan of the combination of grapefruit and white chocolate. I think it's a bit too tart.

I'm allergic to grapefruit, so I used orange zest instead. The cookies still turned out delicious!

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover grapefruit. I always have a few extra grapefruits lying around, so this recipe is perfect for me.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I didn't have any white chocolate chips, so I used semi-sweet chocolate chips instead. They still turned out great!

The cookies turned out a little dry. I think I might have overbaked them.
