Greek Olive Oil Cinnamon Cookies – Kolourakia Lathiou

Step 1

Preheat oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 Celsius).

Step 2

In a large bowl mix the olive oil, sugar and orange juice with a large wooden spoon.

Step 3

In a smaller bowl mix the flour with baking powder, soda and cinnamon.

Step 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.

Step 5

Cover the dough and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Grease a pan with a bit of olive oil.

Step 7

Make the cinnamon sugar mixture by mixing 2 tablespoons of sugar with ½ teaspoon cinnamon, blend well.

Step 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.

Step 9

Bake for about 15-17 minutes.

Step 10

Let them cool and remove.
