Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at softened room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon grated fresh orange peel
  • 2 tablespoons ground dried ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon Morton kosher salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly spray two 8” or 9” light-colored, round cake pans with nonstick spray; set aside. (I use 9" pans. If you use 8" pans, you'll have slightly thicker cookies that will need to bake just a bit longer.)
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, orange peel, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix just until evenly incorporated.
  5. Divide dough in half and gently press one half into the bottom of each pan.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until beautifully golden and the center is set. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Then cut into wedges. Lightly dust with powdered sugar before serving.
