These festive purim cookies are soft and delicious. They can be made with many other fillings as well, but the crushed walnuts are my favorite.

| 3 | egg yolks |
| 1 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(1.00000, 'cup')">cup</a> | flour |
| 2 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(2.00000, 'tablespoon')">tablespoon</a> | honey |
| 0.33333 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(0.33333, 'cup')">cup</a> | oil |
| 1 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(1.00000, 'teaspoon')">teaspoon</a> | orange zest |

| 0.5 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(0.50000, 'teaspoon')">teaspoon</a> | vanilla |
| 1 | whole egg |
Directions:
Mix the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla, and half the orange zest together in a bowl until the sugar is all melted.
Add about half the flour and mix adding more flour just until the dough is soft and not too sticky.
Place the dough in the fridge for one hour.
Mix the crushed walnuts with the remaining orange zest and enough honey to make it stick and rollable.
Use the remaining flour to flour a flat surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough about 1/2 cm thick. Cut circles from the dough and place a rolled ball of the walnut mixture in each circle. Fold over and pinch the corners of the dough, creating a triangle shaped cookie.
Bake in the oven at 350F until the cookies are golden brown (about 12-15 minutes).
