Report
These crinkle cookies straddle the line between cake and shortbread with a lovely citrus note from calamondin oranges -- a cross between tangerines and tart kumquats.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and zest. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Beat the eggs into the sugar mixture one at a time. Add the juice and food coloring and mix again. Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mix, just until the flour is incorporated.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes or until firm.
- Use a one tablespoon measure to portion out dough. Roll each portion into a ball and set on a piece of parchment paper. Continue in this way, until all the dough is rolled into balls.
- Add the confectioners sugar to a shallow bowl and roll each of the balls in the sugar until well coated. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets setting the balls about 2 inches apart, so there's room to spread.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container, separated by sheets of plastic wrap.
