In a large mixing bowl, combined the olive oil, orange juice, sugar, vanilla extract, and baking soda, and whisk together until combined.


Add the flour ingredients and whisk together until combined. Add more flour if needed until the dough is no longer sticky. Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes covered with the kitchen towel. Roll the dough into about 35 g walnut sized pieces.

Notes
For Lemon-flavored cookies: Substitute the orange juice for water and add the zest of 2 lemons to the flour mixture.

Sesame topping: Roll the shaped cookies in sesame seeds and place on the baking trays.

If the cookies are breaking when shaping, squish the dough together nad form into a ball, then roll them out and shape. (see video)
