Melomakarona-style — the one my jar was made for.
Yia Yia Honey Cookies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup fresh orange juice
- 1 Tbsp Yes We Can! Yia Yia blend
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup walnuts, chopped, for topping
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk together olive oil, sugar, orange juice, and Yia Yia blend.
- Stir in baking soda, then fold in flour until a soft dough forms.
- Roll into small ovals, place on a parchment-lined sheet, and bake 18-20 minutes until golden.
- Warm honey and water together in a small saucepan until syrupy.
- Dip warm cookies into the honey syrup, set on a rack, and top with walnuts and a pinch more Yia Yia.
Hostess Tip: Every yia yia has a spice tin like this one — and a cookie plate that never quite empties.
