Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment to catch any drips while cookies bake to golden edges.

Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and cloves until mixture is light, airy, and free of any lumps, ensuring a uniform spice blend.

Whisk olive oil, granulated sugar, and orange juice in a bowl until slightly thick, emulsified, and pale, creating a smooth base that pockets flavors.

Fold the dry ingredients into wet mix gently until a soft, uniform dough forms with a warm brown hue and slight elasticity.

Stir in chopped walnuts thoroughly until they’re evenly distributed, adding rich texture and nutty crunch that complements the warm spices in every single bite.

Shape the dough into 2-inch logs, spacing them about 1 inch apart on the prepared sheet so they bake evenly and brown beautifully around the edges.

Bake for 20-22 minutes at 350°F, or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers spring back lightly, filling your kitchen with warm, spiced aroma.

Simmer water, sugar, honey, and a cinnamon stick in a saucepan over medium heat until syrup thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

Soak each cookie in warm syrup for 30 seconds per side, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
