ingredients
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
5 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup dried tart cherries
1/2 cup candied orange rind
3/4 cup whole blanched or slivered almonds, coarsely chopped
directions
Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Add lemon rind and next 2 ingredients, mixing well.
Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; add to butter mixture, beating just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; lightly flour hands, and knead in cranberries, cherries, orange rind, and almonds.
Divide dough in half; shape each portion into a 14-x 2 inch log on a lightly greased baking sheet. Flatten logs slightly. Bake at 325 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut each log diagonally into 1/2 inch-thick slices with a serrated knife using a gentle sawing motion, and place slices on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 325 degrees F for 10 minutes; turn cookies over, and bake 10 additional minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
