Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, ground ginger, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Stir to ensure all dry ingredients are well incorporated.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, honey, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the egg to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the lemon zest, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients.
- Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure your gingies are tender.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts until they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Keep a close eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, your Honey, Walnut, and Olive Oil Cookies are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Tips:
- To enhance the flavor of the walnuts, toast them lightly in a pan or oven before adding them to the batter.
- Ensure the lemon zest is finely grated to evenly distribute the citrus flavor without any large pieces.
- Use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for a more pronounced and pleasant taste.
- For a more intense ginger flavor, you can add a pinch of ground ginger in addition to the fresh ginger.
- Allow the gingies to cool completely before serving to let the flavors meld together perfectly.
