Ingredients:

1/4 cup self-raising flour
36g
1 tbsp ginger
16g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
2/3 cup olive oil
160g
1/2 cup honey
120g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
1 egg
50g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1/2 cup walnuts
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- 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.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, honey, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Add Egg and Lemon Zest:
- Add the egg to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the lemon zest, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients.
- Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure your gingies are tender.
6. Fold in Walnuts:
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts until they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
7. Portion 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.
8. Bake:
- 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.
9. Cool:
- 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.
10. Enjoy:
- 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.
