1 cup dark brown sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons orange zest |
2 tablespoons ground ginger |
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Beat butter, brown sugar, orange zest, ginger and cloves until fluffy.
2. Stir in baking soda and flour.
3. Divide dough in half.
4. Press into (2) 8 round ungreased baking pans.
5. Bake in a 350 degree fahrenheit oven for 25 minutes or until the tops are dry and cracked, and the edges are slightly higher than the center.

7. Cut into wedges.
8. Prick each wedge with the tines of a fork.
