Preheat oven to 375. 

Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar together on low speed for about 3 minutes.

While the butter is creaming, in a separate bowl, lightly whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.

Zest orange into the creamed butter, add the cloves, and give it another mix just until everything is combined.

Mix in the egg and vanilla into the butter mixture, scraping the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed before adding the dry ingredients.

Gently mix in the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, again, just until combined.

Roll into dough balls, roll dough balls in separate shallow bowl of sugar, and set them on the baking pan until you've got your traditional dozen on the pan. Do NOT flatten them onto the pan!

Bake for 8 minutes at 375. 

Remove from oven, allow to cool on the pan for a couple of minutes, and then remove from the pan onto a cooling rack. Repeat with your second pan.

Enjoy right away, or for up to 4 days stored in an airtight container.
