So instead I’m giving you the very last recipe that I made for my Middle Eastern themed birthday party: Walnut cookies with cinnamon and orange. The cookies are very easy to make, naturally gluten-free and delicious :) It’s another recipe from Claudia Roden, this time from The Book of Jewish Food. According to Claudia the cookies are made by Turkish Jews, I presume for Passover as they don’t have any flour in them.
Mustacudos de muez - Walnut cookies flavoured with cinnamon and orange (from the Dutch version of The book of Jewish food by Claudia Roden)

Process all ingredients in the food processor until a medium coarse paste. Roll into walnut sized balls with wetted of greased hands.
Bake the balls for about 25 minutes.
