Easter cookies

These spicy, fragrant cookies are great for an Easter tea-time treat

Ingredients
125 g English unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing optional
0.5 orange, finely grated zest and juice
1 tsp Fairtrade ground mixed spice
200 g Fairtrade light brown soft sugar
1 capful Madagascan vanilla extract
200 g British self-raising flour
200 g mixed dried fruit

Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Grease 3 baking trays or line with greaseproof paper. If you don't have 3 trays, bake the cookies in batches.

In a bowl, beat the butter, orange zest, mixed spice and sugar together until pale and fluffy.

Add the vanilla extract, sift in the flour, then add the dried fruit and orange juice, and mix well.

Form the mixture into small balls using a teaspoon and put them onto the baking trays, spacing well apart. They will spread and flatten into cookies as they bake

Bake for 10-13 minutes until cooked and light golden, but still chewy inside. Leave to cool.

Cook's tip:
for an extra treat, add some white, milk or dark chocolate chips or chunks to this recipe.

make it

For years consumers have struggled to fit the large round fruit in their refrigerators. And then there was the problem of trying to cut the fruit when it kept rolling around. But 20 years ago a forward-thinking farmer on Japan's south-western   island   of Shikoku solved the problem. The farmer, from Zentsuji, in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored. To make it happen, farmers grew the melons in glass boxes and the fruit then naturally assumed the same shape. Today the cuboid watermelons are.......................

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread : " 'The Trader Joe's cornbread was some of the best cornbread I've tasted, from a mix or otherwise.' Ever wonder about a boxed mix you've seen in the store? Is it any good? Could it replace something you'd otherwise make from scratch? Welcome to Mixed Review , where the whole point is putting boxed mixes to the test! —The Mgmt. Two years ago, I did a roundup of standard supermarket cornbread mixes for this column and was generally unimpressed with all of them. They were gummy, thin, and cloyingly sweet. I called Jiffy, my top choice, 'solid, if not sensational' and recommended doctoring it up with add-ins like sun-dried tomatoes, poppy seeds, and pecans. This year, I thought it was time to revisit the cornbread basket by comparing two readily available specialty mixes: Crate & Barrel's Buttermilk Cornbread Mix ($8.95) and Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix ($2.69).
