Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the egg, orange zest, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until smooth.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set.

Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Whisk together powdered sugar and fresh orange juice to create the zesty glaze.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and optionally sprinkle with additional orange zest.

Allow the glaze to set for about 15 minutes before serving.
