Spicy Christmas Shortbread

Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray 2 8″ or 9″ round cake pans or pie pans with cooking spray. Set aside.

Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, orange peel, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix just until evenly incorporated. Divide dough in half and gently press one half into each pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until beautifully golden. Cool completely on a wire rack, then cut into wedges and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
