Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, sugar, vanilla, orange zest, cinnamon and cloves until the sugar starts to dissolve.
3. Whisk in the baking soda and baking powder.
4. Gradually add the 4 cups of flour, mixing gently after each addition. Add enough of the extra flour to make a soft dough that is not very sticky.
5. Fold in the ground walnuts. Do not overmix or knead, or the cookies will be tough.
6. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
7. Divide the dough in half. Roll each half between two sheets of parchment into a rectangle about 12 by 8 inches and ½ inch thick.
8. Peel off the top parchment, sprinkle generously with sesame seeds and press them gently into the dough.
9. Cut each rectangle into sticks about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
10. Transfer the sticks to the baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between them.
11. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the edges and bottoms are lightly golden.
12. Cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then move to a rack. They crisp up as they cool.
