Title: Moustokouloura (Wine Must Cookies)
Categories: Cookie Greek
Yield: 24 Servings

3 1/2cAll-purpose flour plus extra for kneading
2tsBaking soda
1tbFreshly ground cinnamon
1tbFreshly ground cloves
1/4cMild olive oil
2tbHoney
1/2cPetimezi (Greek wine must syrup) OR- Italian vino cotto OR-
1/2 Orange; (grated zest)
1cOrange juice

Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and cloves into a large bowl, making a well in the center. In a smaller bowl, beat the olive oil with the honey, petimezi, grated orange zest, and 1/2 the orange juice and pour into the well. Mix together to make a dough, adding the remaining orange juice as necessary.

Turn onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth but not stiff. Cover with a cloth and leave to relax for 30 minutes or longer.

Break off pieces of dough, about 2 tablespoonfuls each, and roll into snakes about 1/2-inch in diameter. Press the two ends together, forming oval wreaths, and place on an oiled or non-stick baking sheet. Bake in an oven preheated to 375 F for 10-15 minutes- until they are brown and crunchy, but not too hard.
