Course: Dessert

Cuisine: Mediterranean

Equipment

8 oz. measuring cup (240 ml)

Ingredients

▢ ½ cup brown sugar
▢ ⅓ cup oil
▢ ⅓ cup honey
▢ 1 egg
▢ 1 tsp. cinnamon
▢ Cloves optional
▢ 2 cups flour
▢ 1 tsp. baking powder (5 g)
▢ 1 tsp. baking soda
▢ 2½ tsp. vanilla sugar (10 g)

Instructions

Put the brown sugar, honey, oil, cinnamon, cloves, and egg into a bowl and beat everything for 3 minutes.
To the same bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
Mix until all the flour is blended into the batter.
Refrigerate for around 30 minutes.
Shape the chilled batter into balls.
Roll each ball into some confectioner’s sugar.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the cookie balls on top, leaving enough spaces in between.
Pop the sheet into the oven and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes.

Tips

Don’t forget that you need both baking soda and baking powder for this recipe.
Make sure you don’t bake the batter beyond 15 minutes—the cookies could end up too firm and dry.
The cookies can be served as-is, but you could also glaze them if you’re looking for something sweeter.
