    MMMMM--------------------------COOKIES-------------------------------
    1 c Confectioners' sugar
    2 c Olive oil
    1/2 c Cognac
    1/2 c Orange juice
    1 tb Honey
    7 1/2 c A-P flour
    4 ts Grated orange zest
    3 ts Baking powder
    1 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 c Ground toasted walnuts

    Oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    In a saucepan, combine sugar, water and honey; bring to
    a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Cool
    completely.

    Meanwhile, for cookies, in a large bowl, beat
    confectioners' sugar and oil until blended. Beat in
    Cognac, orange juice and honey. In another bowl, whisk
    flour, orange zest, baking powder and cinnamon;
    gradually beat into sugar mixture.

    Shape tablespoons of dough into 1" thick ovals. Place 1"
    apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until
    lightly browned, 20-25 minutes. Cool on pans 5 minutes.
    Remove to wire racks.

    Float and turn warm cookies in syrup about 10 seconds;
    allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; sprinkle
    with walnuts. Let stand until set. Store between pieces
    of waxed paper in airtight containers.
