How to Make Citrus Ribbons
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough into three equal portions.
- To the first portion, add the orange juice, orange zest, and optional orange food coloring. Mix until well combined.
- To the second portion, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and optional yellow food coloring. Mix until well combined.
- To the third portion, add the lime juice, lime zest, and optional green food coloring. Mix until well combined.
- Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan. Layer the orange dough in the bottom, spreading evenly.
- Top with the lemon dough, spreading evenly and gently patting down.
- Top with the lime dough, spreading evenly and gently patting down.
- Cover the loaf pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to firm up.
- Once firm, lift the dough from the pan and peel away the plastic wrap.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into ¼-inch thick slices.
- Cut each slice in half to create 2x1 ½-inch pieces.
- Place the cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
