Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and baking powder. Whisk until well blended.
- Make a well in the center and add the wet ingredients: eggs, olive oil, whole milk, and orange zest. Mix gently until a coarse dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into portions, shape into ropes, and cut into desired shapes. Bake for 9-11 minutes until tops are dry.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5-7 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the glaze, sift confectioners' sugar and mix with orange juice until smooth. Coat cooled cookies with the glaze and set overnight.
