  • 1¼ cups Unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 large Orange, zested
  • 2½ Tbsp. Dark corn syrup
  • 3¾ cups All-purpose flour
  • 2½ tsp. Baking soda
  • ⅔ tsp. Salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. 2

    Add butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until creamy and well combined, 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the egg and beat until fluffy, another 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in the orange zest and dark corn syrup until smooth.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, Supreme Saigon Cinnamon, Ground Ginger, Ground Madagascar Cloves, and salt.

  5. 5

    With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in small additions, mixing just until the dough comes together — don't over-mix.

  6. 6

    Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are set and centers are just barely shy of done.

  7. 7

    Cool on the pan for a couple of minutes before transferring to a rack. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
