FRUITY MELTAWAYS
Classic lime meltaways get their tender texture from the addition of cornstarch. Here, the cornstarch is swapped for your choice of freeze-dried fruit finely ground in a spice grinder or blender. This not only keeps the cookies delicate, but also adds a concentrated fruity punch. Any fruit will work, but choose a vibrant freeze-dried fruit, like cherries and blueberries, for a more brightly-colored cookie. Once formed into logs, the cookie dough will keep in the freezer for 3 months, helping you get ahead on your holiday baking. The freshly baked cookies are tossed in a combination of ground freeze-dried fruit and confectioners' sugar for a pretty pastel finish.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a stiff spatula, mix butter, confectioners' sugar, salt, lemon juice and vanilla until creamy and combined. Add ground freeze-dried fruit and mix until distributed. Add flour, and mix until it all comes together into a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into two (250-gram) portions. On pieces of parchment paper, wax paper or plastic wrap, roll each portion of dough into a 10-inch-long log. Chill for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator or up to 3 months tightly wrapped in the freezer.
- Set oven racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven, and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two sheet trays with parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, trim about ⅛-inch off each side of the chilled dough logs, just so that you have flat ends. Slice the logs into scant ¼-inch-thick cookies. Roll the log a quarter turn after each slice to keep it round. (If the dough cracks while slicing, let it warm up at room temperature for 10 minutes.) Arrange on sheet trays ½-inch apart and bake, rotating the trays once during baking, until set and barely golden underneath, 10 to 12 minutes.
- While the cookies bake, make the sugar coating: Sift together the powdered sugar with the ground freeze-dried fruit. While still warm, gently toss the cookies in the powdered sugar mixture and return to the sheet tray to fully cool. The cookies will keep for 2 weeks stored at room temperature in an airtight container.

- Fresh Fruit Tarts. I think people often shy away from making fresh tarts because they’re so gorgeous that everyone assumes they’re insanely hard to make.
- Strawberry Oatmeal Bars. Strawberry oatmeal bars have crunchy oat/butter crumb toppings and are soft and chewy on the inside. They’re packed with vibrant strawberry flavor, and you can top them with an optional vanilla glaze if you like your sweets even sweeter.
- Punch Bowl Cake. I’m not sure why they don’t call punch bowl cake “layers of deliciousness cake.” That would describe this soft, airy, fluffy dessert so much better.
- Fruit Pizza Cookies. Most of us have heard of fruit pizzas, but these are fruit pizzas in miniature cookie form. They’re absolutely adorable and perfect for parties and other single-serve events.
