Koulourakia are traditional Greek butter cookies that are often enjoyed during festive occasions such as Easter. They are slightly crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a subtle hint of citrus from orange and lemon zest. These delightful treats are perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before you begin, as this will help it cream more smoothly with the sugar.
- Don't over-mix the dough after adding the flour – overworking it can result in tougher cookies.
- If you want to make your cookies more uniform, use a small ice cream scoop to portion out the dough before rolling it into shapes.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack to maintain their texture and flavor.
- Store the koulourakia in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.
With their unique shape and delightful flavor, Greek koulourakia offer a wonderful baking experience and a tasty treat that can be enjoyed any time of the year. Following this recipe will help you create cookies that are not only delicious but also carry a piece of Greek tradition.
