Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine fresh orange juice, olive oil, honey, water, and sugar. Whisk vigorously until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Gradually add the fine semolina, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground clove, nutmeg, and vanillin powder to the liquid mixture. Knead gently until a soft, oily dough forms.
- Take small portions of the dough and roll them into oval shapes, placing each cookie on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Gently press down to make criss-cross patterns on the top of each oval-shaped cookie.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake for about 20 minutes until they reach a light brown color.
- Prepare the syrup by boiling a mixture of water, sugar, honey, a cinnamon stick, dried cloves, and orange peel for about 4 minutes without stirring.
- Once baked, immediately dip cookies into the hot syrup for a few seconds, then let them drain on a cooling rack.
- Drizzle with extra honey and sprinkle with ground walnuts for garnish before serving.
