Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Preheat oven to 175° C (375° F).
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and the honey, then stir in the orange juice and zest. Gradually add in the dry ingredient mixture and beat until just incorporate. Do not overmix.
Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Drop cookies by the tablespoon onto a baking sheet and roll them in the sugar. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet(s), spacing them 5 cm apart.
Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until cookies begin are puffed and just set around edges. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
