How to Make Orange Spice Shortbread
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 tablespoons finely grated orange zest and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg. Cream until well combined.
- Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Lightly grease a shortbread mold (approximately 9x13 inches) with non-stick cooking spray.
- Firmly press the dough into the prepared shortbread mold, ensuring it reaches all the edges.
- Prick the entire surface of the dough with a fork.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the shortbread cool in the mold for 10 minutes.
- Run a thin knife around the edges to loosen the shortbread.
- Invert the mold onto a wire rack or wooden cutting board to release the shortbread.
- If the shortbread sticks, gently tap the bottom of the mold.
- Once cooled completely, cut into desired serving pieces.
