Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Add both oils to bowl and mix.
-
Add sugar, cinnamon, and brandy and continue mixing.

Put orange and lemon juice in a cup. Add baking soda to cup and stir with a spoon. It will begin to foam, so let the mixture spill into the bowl. Continue mixing.
-
Slowly add flour and continue to mix. Add flour as needed so the dough is not sticky.

Pinch a portion of the dough off (about 2 Tbsp) and shape in your hands making an egg shape. Place on cookie sheet.

Continue to shape cookies until you fill the cookie sheet.
-
Using the tines of a fork, lightly press down on each cookie to slightly flatten them out.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned.
-
Remove from oven and allow to cool.

In a saucepan, add the sugar, water, honey and cinnamon stick over medium-high heat. Continuously skim the foam off.

Once it boils, reduce heat to low and add the lemon juice. Remove cinnamon stick.
-
Dip each cookie in the simmering syrup, allowing excess syrup to drop off using a slotted spoon.
-
Place cookies on the tray and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
