KOURABIEDES (GREECE): WALNUT SUGAR COOKIES
These are a Greek celebration cookie - while they're most popular at Christmas, you also see them at weddings, Easter and other holidays as well. They're almost always served with a powdered sugar topping; at Christmas, it's traditional to stick a whole clove in the top to represent the gift of spices that the Three Wise Men brought to Bethlehem.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Toast the walnuts until golden brown and fragrant, about 6 minutes. Let cool, then chop about half of the nuts (you should have about 1/2 cup chopped). Pulse the remaining nuts in the food processor until finely ground (about 1/4 cup ground).
- Stir the flour, baking powder, salt and nuts together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, beat the butter, sugar, egg yolk, brandy and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture gets light and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
- At low speed, stir in the nut mixture to make a crumbly dough. Cover the bowl and set dough aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or coat with nonstick spray.
- With a tablespoon, scoop out 1-inch pieces of dough and roll into balls between the palms of your hands. Pinch the ends of the balls to make a football shape. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies set and start to brown, about 18 minutes.
- Remove cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle them lightly with the orange water. (If you don't have a brush, simply dip your fingers into the water and flick it over the cookies a few times.) Take care not to douse them, just enough for them to carry the scent of flowers.
- Put the confectioners' sugar in a bag, and add 5 to 6 of the warm cookies to it. Very gently toss the cookies to coat with sugar. Remove them from the bag and cool cookies on a rack. Repeat with remaining cookies. Serve.
- Busy baker's tips: Dough can be frozen for up to 2 weeks. Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Baked cookies can be wrapped in plastic, then aluminum foil, for up to 2 weeks. To serve, let cookies come to room temperature before dusting with confectioners' sugar.
- Cook's Note: If you can't find orange flower water, try specialty stores or online.

GREEK COOKIES
This is an adopted recipe and, although it looks like a nice beginning, needs some tweaking. I'll need to prepare them myself before I'd recommend them as written. (A while clove in each cookie? Ooof!)

- Patouda – Greek Honey and Date Pastries. Patouda is a Greek pastry flavored with dates and honey. Think of it as a flaky and buttery turnover with a sweet willing of honey, nuts, dates, and seeds flavored with spices.
- Orange & Almond Olive Oil Biscotti: Greek Vegan Paximadia. If you’re familiar with my blog, you know just how fond of biscotti I am. I love how aromatic they are.
- Koulourakia (Greek Easter Cookies) Koulourakias are sweet and crunchy cookies most often served at Easter. Their charming, twisty shape and shiny glaze definitely make them holiday-worthy!
- Melomakarona (Greek Christmas Honey Cookies) First of all – how fun does “melomakarona” sound, am I right? Its name alone was enough to intrigue me. These are Greek honey cookies that are unbelievably tender, moist, and bursting with aroma and flavor.
- Amygdalota (Greek-style Chewy Almond Cookies) The name amygdalota is derived from the Greek word “amygdale,” meaning “almonds. From this, you already know these cookies are delicious.
- Greek Moustokouloura. Have you ever had a grape-flavored cookie? If the answer is no, let’s remedy that today, shall we? The Greek moustokoulora are probably the most unique cookies you’ll ever lay your eyes (and tastebuds) on.
- Kourabiedes (Greek Butter Cookies) I’m such a sucker for butter cookies, so when I came across this Greek version, I knew I had to try it. You might also know these cookies as Mexican wedding cookies, Russian tea cakes, and snowballs, but in Greece, they’re called kourabiedes.
- Roxakia. First of all, how pretty are these pastries?! They’re definitely worthy of a special occasion. Those two-toned swirls alone already make them super festive.
- Ergolavi. Ergolavi is a simpler, yet delectable iteration of the amygdalota (Greek almond cookies). They’re also often described as the Greek version of the French macarons, and I think they’re awesome.
- Greek Walnut-filled Chocolates (Kariokes) Let’s end this round-up with a bang, shall we? These walnut-filled chocolate are definitely dynamite. Kariokes are no-bake cookies covered in dark chocolate.
