Ingredients
For the dough:
4 cups (580g) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup light olive oil or vegetable oil
½ (100g) cup of sugar
½ cup (125ml) of orange juice
Zest of 2 oranges
For the syrup:
2 cups of sugar
2 cups of water
2 cups honey
For the garnish:
¾ cup ground walnuts
1 heaping teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Place the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and orange zest into a bowl. Whisk together to combine.
Always zest citrus before juicing.
Combine the oil and sugar in another bowl and whisk together until the sugar has dissolved.
Combine the orange juice and the baking soda together. Mix it and add to the oil mixture.
Add the oil mixture to the flour mixture and mix together until a dough is formed.Be careful not to overmix so that the oil does not separate from the dough. If the dough seems a bit too dry and crumbly add 2-3 tablespoons of orange juice and knead together with a spatula or your hands.
Turn the dough out onto a work surface, compress it and form a circle. Roll out to ½ inch in thickness. Do not use any additional flour to do this.
Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out the cookies. Place them on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Use a fork to make marks on each cookie.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
While the cookies are baking make the syrup. Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add the honey. Stir until incorporated.
As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, put them all together in one of the trays and pour the hot syrup over them.
After 15 minutes, carefully flip each cookie over so that both sides absorb the syrup. Allow the cookies to absorb the syrup in the pan for at least 1 hour.
Combine the ground walnuts, cinnamon, and clove powder and mix well. Sprinkle this garnish over each cookie and serve!
Notes
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
