CHEWY ORANGE MACAROONS

Steps:

• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In your mixer bowl and using the whip beater ( balloon whisk).
• beat the whole egg until thick and light.
• Add in the sugar gradually a little at a time.
• Add the vanilla and orange zest.
• Beat until thick light and fluffy.
• Remove bowl, and fold in the coconut.
• Drop heaping teaspoonfuls onto the parchment making high mounds, and space about 1 1/2 inches apart.
• Bake 15 minutes.
• Turn off heat.
• Leave in the oven for 10 more minutes, letting them dry more.
• Remove and let completely cool.

ORANGE LEMON ORANGIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
• To a large, microwave-safe bowl add the white chocolate, butter, and heat to melt, about 1 minute on high power. Stop to check and stir and then heat in 20-second bursts, stopping to stir after each burst, until mixture can be stirred smooth. White chocolate is very prone to scorching and seizing up, so watch it carefully and don't overheat.
• Wait momentarily before adding the eggs so you don't scramble them. Add the eggs, granulated sugar, orange juice, orange extract, and whisk until combined.
• Add the flour, salt, and stir until just combined; don't overmix.
• Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
• Bake for about 25 to 27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter; set aside and make the glaze.
• In a medium bowl, add 2 cup confectioners' sugar, 1/3 cup lemon juice, and whisk until smooth. As necessary, add additional lemon juice (or sugar) to reach desired glaze consistency. I used slightly over 1/3 cup lemon juice. Glaze should be fairly thin and easily pourable.
• Evenly pour glaze over bars, smoothing it lightly with a spatula if necessary, but glaze will likely just slide into place.
• Evenly sprinkle with lemon zest.
• Allow bars to cool in pan uncovered for at least 2 to 3 hours, (or overnight and cover with a sheet of foil) before slicing and serving so glaze can set up.

CRISP CHEWY MERINGUES

Steps:

• Using a whisk or electric mixer, whip the egg whites and salt into peaks. Add the vanilla, and continue beating to stiff peaks.
• Stir the cream of tartar into the regular sugar and whisk into the whites very gradually, a spoonful at a time, until the meringue is stiff and the sugar has dissolved.
• Sift together the icing sugar and cornstarch. Sift over the meringue and gently fold until fully incorporated.
• Pipe or spoon the meringues onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 225 degrees F/110 degrees C until cream-coloured and crisp on top when tapped, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove the meringues from the oven. Cool on the trays. Store in an air-tight container.

LEMON CHEWY CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients except flour until well blended.
• On low speed, beat in flour just until blended.
• Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with sugar or almonds.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute before removing to wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. HINT: These cookies will have a nicely browned edge if baked on a regular thin cookie sheet rather than a thick or insulated one.

ORANGE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• In large bowl of mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy; beat in egg, orange zest and juice.
• Gradually beat in flour, baking powder, soda, salt and nutmeg until mixed.
• Add oats (I used quick-cooking oats, but I think that old-fashioned or rolled oats would improve the texture.).
• Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls on greased cookie sheets.
• Bake in 350° oven until golden around edges.
