How to Make Orange Ginger Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This is best done with an electric mixer.
- Beat in the egg until well combined.
- Stir in the grated orange peel and molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling step helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. If the dough is too sticky, chill it for a bit longer.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as ovens can vary.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
