Instructions<\/strong><\/p>

First, place the sesame seeds in a strainer and rinse twice under running water. Let them drain and spread them out on a towel to dry. Set aside.<\/p>

In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil and sugar very well. Then add the raki, orange zest, cinnamon, clove, and salt.<\/p>

Next, dissolve the baking soda in the orange juice, stir until it froths, and pour it into the bowl with the mixture.<\/p>

Combine the flour with the baking powder and gradually add it to the bowl, kneading well until you have a soft and pliable dough.<\/p>

Divide the dough into 20\u201325 g balls and shape them into small sticks or cookies. Press them into the sesame seeds to coat.<\/p>

Transfer the cookies onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180\u00b0C (356\u00b0F), using top and bottom heat, for about 25\u201330 minutes.<\/p>

Once ready, allow them to cool and store in an airtight container.<\/p>

Good luck and enjoy!<\/p>
