2. 2. Add baking soda to the mixture and stir thoroughly (don’t worry if it foams up; that’s normal). Then, add olive oil and mix again until all the ingredients are well combined.

4. 4. Gradually add the flour to the honey mixture and knead into a soft, elastic dough. The dough will stick slightly to your hands, but don’t add more flour (otherwise, the cookies will turn out too hard). Cover the dough and let it rest for about an hour.
