Notes about this recipe

  • TBipp on October 24, 2022

    A nice, chewy spice cookie that will be great for chilly weather-I made the orange version. A few tweaks were made due to personal preference: no ground cloves or black pepper and cinnamon increased to 2 tsp. allspice upped to 1/2 tsp and ginger reduced to 1/2 tsp. I added 1/2 tsp. orange oil as I had insufficient rind. Dough was soft but easy to handle. Important to note is that the recipe says to set aside 2/3 cup sugar for rolling the cookie dough balls; however, I set aside 1/2 cup (with the grated orange rind) and still had 1/4 cup left over. Setting aside 1/3 cup should be plenty. As I rarely cook all the cookie dough at once (I often freeze cookie dough balls and bake a few at a time in my toaster oven), I appreciated that the recipe includes instructions for freezing the sugared dough balls, and notes that the baking temperature and time is different for baking frozen dough. I served these with lemon sorbet (Haagen Dazs) and the combination is wonderful.
