Step-by-Step Instructions for Spiced Orange Clove Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the large egg, orange zest, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and combine until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, drop rounded balls of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh orange juice until smooth.
- Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over each cookie and garnish with fresh orange zest.
- Allow the glaze to set for about 15 minutes before serving.
