Answer 1

Mexican Wedding Cookies

16 Tbs. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1⁄4 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1⁄4 tsp. salt
1 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup ground blanched almonds

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter on high speed until fluffy and pale yellow. Add 1/2 cup of the confectioners’ sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low, add the vanilla and salt, and beat until blended.

Over a sheet of waxed paper, sift together the flour and cinnamon. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on low speed or stir with a wooden spoon just until blended. Stir in the almonds. Cover and refrigerate until the dough is chilled but not hard and is no longer sticky to the touch, about 15 minutes.

Preheat an oven to 350°F. Sift the remaining 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar into a shallow bowl.

Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Place about 1 inch apart on 2 ungreased baking sheets.

Bake until the cookies are just golden on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks and let cool for 5 minutes, then remove the cookies one at a time and roll them in the confectioners’ sugar. Let the cookies cool completely on wire racks. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

Answer 2

LEMON BARS

For the Crust:
½ lb. unsalted butter, room temp.
½ cup granulated sugar
2 cups A/P flour
1/8 tsp. kosher salt

For the Filling:
6 extra-large eggs, room temp.
3 cups granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. grated lemon zest (4-6 lemons)
1 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
1 cup A/P flour

Preheat oven to 350ºF. For the crust, cream butter and sugar until light in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Combine flour and salt, and with mixer on low, add to butter until just mixed. Dump th edough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball. With floured hands, flatten dough and put into a 9x13" baking sheet, building up a ½" edge on all sides. Chill. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes until very light brown. Let cool on a wire rack. Leave oven on. For the filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, zest, juice, and flour. Pour over baked crust and bake for 30-35 minutes or until filling is set. Let cool to room temperature. Cut into triangles and dust tops with confectioner's sugar.

(If doubling recipe, double filling, but triple crust.)
