Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and orange zest.
  2. Gradually add flour, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until just combined to form dough.
  3. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Lightly flour your surface and roll out dough to about 1/4 inch thickness or scoop into balls. Shape cookies as desired.
  5. Bake for 12 to 16 minutes until edges are golden. Cool on the sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. Prepare glaze by whisking powdered sugar with Cointreau or orange juice until smooth and glossy.
  7. Dip tops of cooled cookies in glaze or drizzle it over. Return to oven for 3-4 minutes to set the glaze.
  8. Let cookies sit on rack until glaze is completely set, about 15 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
