Ground cloves and orange zest worked into a buttery dough give these cookies a spiced, citrus edge, and baking them on one large tray makes them easy to stretch across a crowded table or a stack of lunchboxes. The spiced-citrus flavour adds a twist to the classic shortbread cookie.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cream the butter

15 min

Beat the room-temperature butter with the icing sugar until pale, then mix in the egg and orange zest.

2

Knead the dough

10 min

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, ground cloves, baking powder and salt, then work it into the butter mixture a little at a time to knead a soft dough.

3

Chill the dough

40 min

Wrap the dough in cling film and chill it in the fridge.

4

Shape and bake

15 min

Pull off walnut-sized pieces of dough, roll into balls, space them out on a baking tray, and bake in an oven preheated to 170°C until the edges turn lightly golden.

Reminder

Do not shape the dough before it has chilled; warm dough spreads in the oven and the cookies' edges will stick together. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), milk and dairy, egg.

Kırk dakikalık dinlendirmeyi atlayıp yirmi dakika sonra aceleyle şekillendirdim, kurabiyeler fırında biraz yayılıp kenarları birbirine değdi ama tat gayet güzeldi, bir dahaki sefere tarifte yazan süreyi tam uygulayacağım.
