Add the lemon zest to the mixer.

Add the ground clove.
8
Add a pinch of salt.

Add the flour in batches, mixing between additions. Mix until the dough comes together in a ball.

Split the dough into two portions and roll tightly into cylinders of about 2" diameter. Wrap in plastic or parchment and seal tightly. Twist the plastic ends to smooth the cylinders.

Chill for at least 2 hours or overnight before baking.

Remove plastic wrap from dough and slice into rounds about 1/4" thick.
