ingredients
- 3/4 cup solid shortening (Crisco)
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoons orange peel
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg room temp
- 35 teaspoons dulce de leche for topping
- coarse sea salt to sprinkle
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
Cream solid shortening with sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer at low speed until combined. Sift flour into the bowl and add baking soda, salt, spices, and orange peel. Mix in until homogenous. Whisk in molasses and the egg until combined. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a surface lined with plastic wrap and form a log. Wrap and place to rest in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight. Use a tablespoon as measurement and roll dough into balls and then roll in 1/2 cup of sugar. Place onto the lined sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart between them.
Step 4
Bake for about 11-13 minutes or until set. Transfer pan to a rack and let cinnamon cookies cool fully. Lastly, spread dulce de leche on top on a artistic way and sprinkle salt on top. If desired, place an orange rind on top. Enjoy!
