Ingredients
- 200 ml grape molasses ( see how to make here or buy online here)
- 250 ml (1 cup) olive oil
- 100 grams (⅓ cup) honey
- 2 tablespoons brandy or red wine or Raki (Tsipouro)
- 60 ml (¼ cup) orange juice
- 1 orange zest
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 650-700 grams (5½ to 5¾ cups) all purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F.
- Combine wet ingredients (grape molasses, honey, olive oil, orange juice, brandy) in a mixing bowl using a whisk.
- Add cinnamon, cloves, orange zest, and baking soda. Whisk until uniform.
- Combine flour and baking powder. Gradually incorporate into the wet ingredients. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky, but shapeable without leaving fragments on your hands.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Shape. Take a piece of the dough (about 30-40 grams) and squeeze it in your hands to remove excess air. Shape it into a ball and then into a cord (about 10-12cm). Stick the edges together to create a ring. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and place the cookies on the pan with 2 fingers space in between.
- Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes until the cookies get a honey-brown color all over.
- Serve with a cup of Greek coffee!
