Beat together first 4 ingredients. Sift flour, baking powder and
soda 3 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 moderate
oven for 30 minutes. Boil honey, sugar and water for 5 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

put each one of my cookies in a silver cupcake paper and then
sprinkle with the nuts and cinnamon. These are a traditional
Christmas sweets.
