Grandma’s Poppy Seed & Orange Cookies

My grandma’s visits to Tel Aviv were always a special occasion for my sisters and me. She lived far away in a kibbutz, Ashdot Yaakov, near the Lake of Galilee, which meant she stayed with us for a few days. She always brought several large and colourful tins filled with delicious homemade cookies that we nicknamed (for obvious reasons) “salties”and “sweeties”; we enjoyed these long after she returned back home. During one of our visits to the kibbutz, she let me help her make these cookies.
