Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp plus 1 tsp molasses
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tbsp finely grated orange zest
  • 2 3/4 to 3 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves

Directions:

  1. In a mixing bowl or standing mixer cream together the butter and sugar until light. Beat in 1 egg and mix in the molasses, orange juice, and zest. Sift together the dry ingredients and stir them into the wet ingredients to make a soft, smooth dough, adding more flour if dough is too sticky. Knead the dough three times on a lightly floured board.
  2. Shape the dough into 3 logs, about 8-inches long, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice logs into thin circles, less than 1/8-inch thick. Place on lightly greased baking sheets.
  4. Bake cookies for about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer cookies to a rack to cool.
