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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and orange zest to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and instant coffee granules.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Stir in the chopped pecans.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Brush the top of each cookie stick lightly with milk. This will create a slight sheen on the cookies as they bake.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve alongside coffee or tea, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
