Candied Fruit Cookies
A buttery French-style sablé studded with glacé cherries and candied apricot, lifted with orange zest and a trace of almond flour for a soft, tender crumb. The candied fruit turns jammy and caramelised at the edges during baking, giving each cookie little pockets of concentrated sweetness against the rich, lightly sandy dough.

Instructions
1
Cream the softened butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes by hand.
2
Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
3
Sift the all-purpose flour, almond flour and salt over the mixture and fold in just until a soft dough forms.
4
Fold in the diced candied apricot, quartered glacé cherry and orange zest, distributing the fruit evenly through the dough.
5
Cover and rest the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes so it firms up enough to shape.
6
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
7
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll into balls, then flatten slightly into rounds about 2cm thick, spaced apart on the sheet.
8
Bake for 13-15 minutes until the edges turn pale gold and the centres are just set.
9
Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
