Ingredients
1 and 1/2 cups light olive oil
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 cups (530g) all-purpose flour (or more)
2 teaspoons baking powder
Optional: Sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F, 180 °C and line 2 -3 trays with parchment paper.
Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl and whisk them together and set aside.
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.
Roll each ball out to about 6 to 8 inches long into a rope. Shape the ropes into eS-shapes, circles or twists and place them on the baking trays that are lined with parchment paper.
Bake on the center rack for about 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly golden all around. Cool completely and serve!
Store the cookies in an air-tight container up to 2 weeks.

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)

Can’t wait to try this. Are they traditionally made with eggs and butter?
I made these. They are great for coffee. Thank you for the video, it was helpful to see the texture of the dough, etc.
I made these today! They're pretty good, but I wish the orange flavor came through more
Why do my koulourakia spread and not hold their shape
The kitchen looks awesome
I am vegan and I have everything I need to make these- You should have your own network show!
Can I use Anise instead of vanilla in this cookie?
Very nice!
Thank you for another amazing recipe. As I am not really good at baking, would it be possible for me to flatten the small balls into a cookie round shape, do you think it would work ? Or Even try to flatten the dough and use a cookie cutter? I know it takes the good looking biscuits shape but at least I could start like that?
Thank you for sharing Dimitra! I was looking for a vegan recipe for Lent, so perfect timing!
Highly recommend these. Almost certain to have all the ingredients in your cupboard, they are a doddle to make and taste sublime!
Awesome- they look so yummy! Looking forward to making them. Thank you for sharing!
TY Sweet Dimitroula mou! I will try to make these soon. Sorry I am going through some challenging times at the moment.
Congrats on 300K subscribers! You deserve millions and I hope you get it ! Now do these koulourakia taste oily ? Never made them using oil .
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, now I can make them for Easter for our daughter-in-law who is Vegan, and I always like to surprise her with something new.
Dimitra has the softest hands on YouTube!
Can you please guide me with regards to what egg wash I can use on top. Should it be the whole egg beaten and brushed on or just the egg white or just the egg yolk? I'd like to give them a little bit of a sheen. And I will definitely also be adding sesame seeds on top as we do enjoy the flavor of them. But I would like to make some without sesame seed but would like a little bit of shine on them.
These cookies are delicious .. thanks for the recipe ❤️
They look delicious 😋 🙏💕🇬🇷🌏
Great timing! Added to collection of lent recipes

My friends Ya Ya always made these and used powdered sugar on top. She's passed now. We miss her and I miss those treats.
