Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup white sugar + more for sprinkling
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon + more for sprinkling

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 Celsius).
  2. In a large bowl mix the olive oil, sugar and orange juice with a large wooden spoon.
  3. In a smaller bowl mix the flour with baking powder, soda and cinnamon.
  4. Start adding the flour to the olive oil mixture gradually mixing with the spoon. You should have a soft dough, but not sticky so you can roll into circular shapes. Be careful not to add more than needed. –I added a about 2 more tablespoons to get the right consistency, but it depends.
  5. Cover the dough and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  6. Grease a pan with a bit of olive oil.
  7. Make the cinnamon sugar mixture by mixing 2 tablespoons of sugar with ½ teaspoon cinnamon, blend well.
  8. Start making your shapes. For little cookies, I take about a teaspoon of dough and roll it out in a thin cord and then make the shapes. Dip into the cinnamon-sugar mixture on both sides-place on the pan.
  9. Bake for about 15-17 minutes.
  10. Let them cool and remove.
