Ingredients (for the Cookies)
- 100 g yogurt
- 100 g olive oil
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons semolina
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 200 g flour
- 1 packet (about 1 teaspoon) baking powder
Ingredients (for the Syrup)
- 750 g sugar
- 750 g water
- 1 vanilla pod or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions for the Cookies
Lightly grease a baking pan and set it aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, yogurt, and egg. Add the cornstarch and semolina, mixing well until combined.
Stir in the baking powder and flour, then knead the mixture until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms.
Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking pan.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180–190°C (355–375°F) for about 20 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden.
As soon as you remove the hot cookies from the oven, transfer them to a deep baking dish. Pour the warm syrup over them immediately.
Allow them to cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours before serving.
Instructions for the Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the water begins to boil. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves, then add the vanilla and remove from heat.
