Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- 0.5 cup pecans (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and orange zest to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and instant coffee granules.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Fill a cookie press fitted with a star or ribbon disk with the dough, or roll and shape by hand if preferred. On the baking sheets, press or form the dough into thin sticks approximately 3 inches long.
Brush the top of each cookie stick lightly with milk. This will create a slight sheen on the cookies as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve alongside coffee or tea, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
