Ingredients

  • 2 cups olive oil, preferably extra virgin
  • 1 cup sugar (or 1 ½ cups for sweeter cookies)
  • 2 cups fresh-squeezed orange juice (or bottled, but fresh is better!)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 teaspoons baking soda
  • Zest of 2 oranges
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 teaspoons cinnamon (or less if you prefer a less spicy cookie)
  • 1 teaspoon cloves (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 cups whole wheat flour (more or less, as needed)
  • 5 cups unbleached flour (more or less, as needed)
  • 1 cup raisins (optional, but nice for natural added sweetness; use smaller raisins rather than larger ones to make the dough easier to work with)
