Ingredients: 2
C.
olive oil or Wesson 3/4
C.
sugar 3/4
C.
orange juice 1/4
C.
brandy 7 1/2
c.
sifted flour,
(7 1/2 to 8)
2
Tsp.
baking powder 1
Tsp.
soda
FOR THE SYRUP: 2
c.
honey 2
c.
sugar 2
c.
water
Directions:
Beat together first four ingredients. Sift flour, baking powder
and soda three times. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the oil
mixture 1 cup at a time and knead gently. Pinch off small portions
of dough the size of an egg and form into little patties. Roll them
to make oblong rolls. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake in
350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Boil honey, sugar and water for
five minutes. Pour syrup over cookies in a deep pan. Allow to
soak for 15 minutes. Take them out of the syrup and place on a
large platter. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and cinnamon. Makes
40. I like to put each one of my cookies in a silver cupcake paper
and then sprinkle with the nuts and cinnamon. These are a
traditional Christmas sweet.
