Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, confectioners sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add flour and mix until the flour is incorporated and the shortbread dough has a crumbly appearance.
- Mix in the mixed peel or fruitcake blend until evenly distributed in your shortbread dough.
- Transfer the fruitcake shortbread dough to a sheet of parchment paper or plastic cling film wrap and gather the loose dough into a rough log shape.
- Wrap the paper around the log shape tightly and use it to help roll the log out into your desired length and width. Unwrap and re-wrap tightly. Transfer to your refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes.
- Once the dough is firm to the touch, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C ). Remove the dough from the refrigerator and slice using a sharp knife ( to cut through the fruit easily ). Slices should be approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.
- Transfer slices to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C ) for 10-12 minutes. The cookies are done when the center is slightly puffy. You should also be able to note the difference when the center no longer looks raw.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet placed on a wire cooling rack. *Shortbread cookies are tender and prone to falling apart while still warm!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Sift together flour and salt into a medium bowl. Beat butter with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add sugar gradually, beating between additions; continue to beat until mixture is very pale, about 2 minutes total. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture; beat until just combined.
- Combine apricots, cranberries, candied citron, currants, and whiskey or brandy in a bowl. Let dried fruit macerate at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours; drain.
- Add lemon zest to the butter with the sugar. After beating in the flour, mix in drained fruit. Form dough into a 10 1/2-inch log, then a triangle with 2 1/2-inch sides. (Refrigerate dough briefly if too soft to form.) Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour; cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
- Bake on parchment-lined baking sheets until firm and just golden on edges, about 35 minutes.

Steps:
- Snip off the hard stems of the figs with scissors or a small knife and coarsely chop the figs. In a medium bowl, combine the figs, raisins, cherries, apricots, honey, sherry, lemon juice, pecans, and a pinch of salt. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit overnight at room temperature.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, cloves, superfine sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the egg and mix until incorporated. With the mixer still on low, slowly add the flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt just until combined. Don't over mix! Add the fruits and nuts, including any liquid in the bowl.
- Divide the dough in half and place each half on the long edge of a 12 by 18-inch piece of parchment or waxed paper. Roll each half into a log, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-inch thick, making an 18-inch-long roll. Refrigerate the dough for several hours, or until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- With a small, sharp knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place the slices 1/2-inch apart on ungreased sheet pans and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden.

WHITE CHOCOLATE FRUITCAKE BARS
These cookie bars are studded with the best parts of traditional fruitcake (orange zest and dried fruit) and spiced up with lots of fresh ginger. The white chocolate drizzle creates a blank canvas that's perfect for sprinkles and/or sanding sugar.

Steps:
- Make the Shortbread:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8" square metal pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides. Butter parchment.
- Whisk flour, almonds, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed (or use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), beat granulated sugar and 1 1/4 cups butter in a large bowl, scraping down sides, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to medium, add egg, and beat until incorporated, about 1 minute more. Scrape down sides of bowl. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in orange zest, ginger, and vanilla.
- With the mixer running on low speed, add dry ingredients and beat just until combined with some visible flour remaining. Add cranberries, coconut, and chocolate. Beat just until incorporated. Scrape down sides of bowl, then fold dough once or twice with a spatula.
- Scrape dough into prepared pan. Using dampened fingers or a damp offset spatula, press dough evenly into pan. Bake shortbread until lightly golden brown and set, 25-30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool.
- Do Ahead: Shortbread can be baked 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
- Make the Glaze and Assemble:
- Heat chocolate, oil, and salt in a small heatproof bowl in a microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth and glossy, about 1 minute total. Set aside 2 Tbsp. glaze, then pour remaining glaze over cooled shortbread in pan, spreading to the edges. Let sit at room temperature until set (if you're impatient, chill 10-15 minutes).
- Run a paring knife around edge of pan to release, then remove shortbread from pan using parchment overhang. Slice into bars. To slice into diamonds, cut into five 1 1/2" strips, then slice each strip on the bias into 1" diamonds.
- Rewarm reserved glaze and drizzle over bars in stripes with a spoon. Top with sprinkles. Let sit at room temperature until set (or chill for 8-10 minutes).
- Do Ahead: Bars can be made 5 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
