Directions –

1. First, preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Now, take a large bowl and mix sugar and orange zest. Also, add olive and vegetable oil and mix them well.

3. While continuing mixing, add orange juice to it.

4. Take a separate bowl and sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Give these ingredients a quick mix. Now add the liquid contents of the other bowl to the flour mixture slowly, mixing it in bit by bit.

5. Mix well until the dough becomes stiff.

6. Make small golf-ball-sized pieces and place them evenly on a baking sheet. Flatten the dough with a fork.

7. Put the baking sheet into the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes.

For Syrup –

1. Take a saucepan and put honey, sugar, water, cinnamon stick, lemon zest, and cloves in it and bring to a boil.

2. Heat the saucepan on low heat uncovered for about 10 minutes.

3. As the syrup becomes thick, remove the cinnamon stick, lemon peel, and cloves from it.

4. At last, stir in the lemon juice.

Before serving, while the cookies are still warm, it is good to put some cookies in the raw honey syrup. This will allow the cookies to soak up the sweet goodness of the syrup. Remove the cookies after 30 seconds, place them on a serving tray, and sprinkle with walnuts and ground cinnamon.
