Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter - softened
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar - packed
• 1 egg (medium or large)
• 1 Tablespoon grated orange rind
• 1 tsp. grated lemon rind
• 1 Tablespoon orange liquor

• 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
• 1/8 tsp. allspice
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Preparation

Step 1

Thoroughly cream the softened butter and sugar together by hand or with a mixer. Beat in the egg (if using a mixer, use the slowest speed), the grated orange and lemon rinds, and the orange liquor. In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients, then stir them into the butter mixture. Knead for a minute. Chill the dough for 30 minutes and mold cookies as directed.

Bake at 350° in the top third of your oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are nicely browned.
