Cream butter and oil until completely mixed, add sugar, add orange juice slowly, add vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, add 2 cups flour and beat, add two more cups flour, and then add the rest. You may not need all of the flour, just don't let it get too thick, knead the dough lightly in the bowl.
Using teaspoon, scoop out some of the dough and roll in your palms and flatten slightly in your hands. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes and cool.
Boil syrup ingredients for 5 minute in LARGE saucepan, as it will foam up, then dip each cake (do several at one time) in the saucepan, turning a couple of times with a wooden spoon, place the cookies on waxed paper and sprinkle with walnut and cinnamon mixture. Cool completely before storing.
