This recipe and many more are on my website: www.dimitrasdishes.com/recipes...
Makes about 45 cookies:
1 and 1/2 cups olive oil or vegetable oil
3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
4 cups all purpose flour
zest of 2 oranges
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sesame seeds or ground walnuts
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, 180 degrees Celsius.
Zest the oranges before juicing them.
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and orange zest in a large bowl and whisk all the ingredients together.
In another bowl, combine the olive oil, orange juice, water, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla extract. Whisk well to incorporate all of the ingredients.
Add the flour mixture a little at a time whisking to combine.
When the mixture becomes to thick to whisk, mix the rest of the flour in with your hands.
Add the sesame seeds and mix until combined.
At this point the dough will seem wet and sticky.
Set it aside for 5 minutes and it will come together and become a very pliable cookie dough.
Cut the dough into walnut sized balls. This recipe makes about 45.
Roll the balls into logs and place onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Leave some room in between each cookie for rising. They will also spread slightly while baking.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cookies become slightly browned around the edges.
It is a good idea to also rotate the trays halfway through baking. Switch the bottom tray to the upper rack and the top tray on the bottom. This will ensure even baking.
Cool the cookies on cooling racks.
Serve and enjoy!

A long time favorite. Thank you for the demonstration and recipe. I'll be making them.
Just tried making them this week. They are delicious. I actually put both walnuts and Sesame seeds in the dough before mixing. I love these cookies with walnuts and the orange and cinnamon flavors are amazing together. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Yummies!!! You always make good stuff that I love to try, so far I’ve made about 8 recipes from you and they all turned out very nice my bf loves it!!! Thank you for doing such a wonderful job!
Thank you Dimitra, I just made this, my dough was quite soft , i had to add 1/4 cup flour to be able to handle it, but the cookies turned out very nice, thank you
I really appreciate the precision in the recipe, it's difficult to get from mamas or yiayias!
I made those today. They felt wet! So i added some almond flour which was just perfect. They came out amazing. Thankyou for sharing your recipe. 💜

I love these, I buy them at the bakeries in Greece in summer, thank you very much for the recipe! I eat them with yoghurt, by the way :)
I have made these five time now. Very popular with the family and friends. Great to take to a function as they are a surprising delight.
I agree! I love that they stay fresh for a long time too :)

Thank you for sharing 💗
I made them it was so delicious
Thanks Dimitra a love 💕 ur cooking even tried to cook delicious n easy as 👍🏾💐💐
My little boy doesn't really like sweets, no cake, no cookies, no candies. He is a picky eater but he loves your cookie recipe.Thanks you
In Morocco there are similar biscuits, but even simpler. Just flour, sugar, salt, and plain olive oil (the one people cook with)/ other cooking oils. Don't remember there being cinnamon in them. They are pale. I was amazed, having watched them being made, that so few and simple ingredients could make such delicious biscuits (US 'cookies').
Made these today, just quartered the recipe to see how they turn out, looking good in oven so far!!! Might try
veg oil next time, add walnuts and a little sesame seeds!!! Good for fasting if you use veg oil!!!
Baked these, this afternoon. They came out very mild-flavored, and slightly crumbly. (I’d never had these before, so wasn’t sure if that’s what they were meant to be like). Myself, next time, I’ll double the amount of Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice, add extra vanilla, and maybe some Ceylon Cinnamon…, but then, again, it wouldn’t be this biscuits, anylonger, would it?
Also, since as a novice baker, I couldn’t get them to twist without crumbling, I patted them flat, instead, and they came out as big fat soft cookies (kinda like crumbly biscuits). They DID taste better when dipped in Coffee :)) I’ll try them again. What I LOVED MOST about them: No commercial flavored HFCS, dough conditioners, etc… No artificial Aftertaste. For these, alone, the trying these out, was totally worth it! :))
Your amazing
your the best.
Γεια σου Δημητρα Χρονια πολλα καλη χρονια σενα και στα δικα σου !!
👍👍👍good and more staf for Easter fast
Looks delicious!! Where did you buy your juicer from I didn’t see on your list thx!
can't wait to make these. can we substitute flour for almost d or coconut flour? if so, would the other ingredients need to be altered? love your videos bring me warmth and happiness
Thank you! To be honest, I've never made them gluten free. If you do, please let me know how they turn out.
I love the look of your whisk! The wires aren't so long and seem sturdy. What brand is it?
Love this recipe. Made it twice already. 2nd time I only had 1 cup and a quarter of oil left but it still turned out. Anyone else use less oil?? I use vegetable oil. I might try it with one cup next time ;-)
Hi! I love how you cook I watched plenty of your recipe I want to learn more of Greek food that's why I subscribed on your channel I learn a lot from you.. Actually I worked in a Tanker ship with Greek and Filipino crew. I'm on vacation I will come back on March.. I'm very happy that I watched your cooking it's easy to follow... 😊😊😊
Thank you!
I have made them with almond flour and half regular and they were fantastic. I think I will go for all almond flour next.
Love it!
Paras Eve I’ve used almond flour for Kourambiethes and they are fantastic!
My mery Christmas morning
Mam your recipes look very good! How much does your 1 cup of flour weigh? Would really appreciate if the measurements were in grms for accuracy. Thanks.
And merry Christmas
I would love to make these but I don't have baking soda, I have only baking powder. Could you please advise? Else tomorrow I will buy baking soda. Thank you ❤️
Dimitra you are the best. I love your recipes and how you present them. One question. As I like raisins, could I add a cup of raisins? If so, what quantity do you suggest?
I would say 1- 2 cups
@@athenaemmanouilidis1291 many thanks. I have done that and it's perfect.
I like
Hi, live your recipes, I made these orange and almond olive oil biscuit, however I followed led the exact ingredients but the mixture in the end was too runny and hard to manage , should I have put more flour ? Thanks
Yum! I plan to make them as soon as we're back from vacation...yes, I'm watching you while on vacation! It's all that good! One question though, can the cinnamon be substituted by anything else? My husband can't stand cinnamon...Lord knows why!?!
The cinnamon can be substituted for either nutmeg or allspice. Use a 1/4 of the amount.
Oh no!! I would normally say that you don't need that negativity in your life, but in this case since he's your husband we will make it work. lol! You can completely leave the cinnamon out. Just add an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract. The orange, vanilla, and cloves (does he like those? it's such a tiny bit so maybe he won't notice) are super flavorful. Let me know how they turn out :)
Be careful though because those are very potent flavors. I wouldn't put more than 1/4 teaspoon total. Thanks Tanya :)
Dimitra's Dishes Thank you, will do! Extra vanilla is always welcome in our house, if not just for the aroma!😊
Is this a dry cookie? I was in Greece this summer I had cookies they were dry and had a taste of olive oil. I loved eating them. Now I want to make in the UK ❤
I have made these many times now and they are always a hit, so unusual here in Toowoomba. I am going to try make gluten free ones this week. I take it these are halal as well. I always use sesame seeds.
Big hit with the gluten intolerant person, the Moslems, and the Greek daughter at the head injury recovery group that my wife runs.
They look wonderful !! just wondering if I can use half olive oil and half veg. oil .
Yes, absolutely
Amazing xxxxx
Hi Dimitra, if no orange juice can i use tang powder mixed with water in a pinch ? I find orange juice expensive too….thank you Dimitra….
Lol.. yup... glass of this handful of that...lol..smh
Looks Gr8!!! Ty so much!!!
All of the exact measurements are on my website 😊 hope you enjoy these!!
How many calories do you think one has?
My father likes a soft Koulouraki.. can these be made soft?
Hi how much flour and sugar do we need.
What kind of olive oil do you use? I like a strong Greek olive oil that is great in a salad, but not sure if it would be god in cookies. Thanks!
I prefer a light olive oil that is a bit more processed. The really good olive oil will make these heavy and slightly bitter. Maybe half really good olive oil and half light...
where are the recipes i can not find them please tell me what i am doing worng
Underneath each video is a "description box" located right under the title. In there, you will find links to my website: www.dimitrasdishes.com I also post the recipes in the description box for the more recent videos. Let me know if you found it.
Hello Dimitra, I have tried your recipe above, but following correctly I had oil spread from flour, so why did I have the daugh floating on oil.
Mixing the batter for too long causes the oil to separate...
How many cups of flour
How much flour and soda and bakin
Her website has the recipe and also in the description box above.
1 cup is equal to 200ml ? Or 250 ml ?
240
You won't belevevit. I forgot the olive oil and it still came out great. Forgot to halve the clove so that dreaded the tongue a bit. Used gluten free flour. Great recipe
Thanks dimitra good for fast of birth and daibitc
Did I miss something? Don’t see how much flour, sugar etc!
Recipe in the description above, below the video.
M
I love ur recipe butttttt I'm upset because u never give exact measurements.. like some flour some sugar.
Recipes are on her website and also in the description box above.
I miss you honey
Hi Dimitra, can you make this recipe with almond flour for us diabetics? Love your recipes!!
I wouldn't call these healthy cookies as 1 cup of sugar is a loot of sugar.
Not divided into 45 cookies. Take that cup of sugar and make 45 piles…not much sugar per cookie after all. As well, less sugar will still yield delicious cookie.
the word "some" doesnt mean anything....can you be more specific
elimonjal the recipe has exact measurements. It’s in the description box below the video
Ah! Cutting oranges on the marble counter? 😭
Maybe not marble.
You need a stsnd mixer lol
She has one.
Sorry I mean vegan 😅 😔
Thanks for the recipe, they look really delicious, but please stop saying they're healthy. They're just as unhealthy as any cookie would be. They have a lot of fat and sugar. Vegan doesn't automatically mean healthy. Veganism is an ethical movement for the animals, and has nothing to do with health. Some people are plant-based, that's where the health factor kicks in, and still: these delicious cookies contain a lot of fat and sugar and therefore aren't healthier or less fattening than other cookies.
