These delicious and crisp cookies are a staple in Greek cuisine, especially during Easter. Koulourakia must be both crispy and not very dense. Crispiness is the texture you are looking for. You want these cookies to crack and leave crumbs, just like biscotti or English biscuits do.
They are also a very versatile sweet treat. It can be served as a grab-and-go breakfast, a treat and a dessert. But mostly koulourakia are an excellent side treat with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!

For about 40 cookies
- 1kg / 35oz / 2.2lb (8 cups) all-purpose flour
- 250g / 8.8oz (2 sticks and 1 1/2 tablespoons), softened unsalted butter *

Angelo's Mom Makes Greek Easter Cookies (Koulourakia)

Here's a good cookie recipe that's easy to make, and my mom had a lot of fun making it. It's basically a hardened, sweet cookie that you can shape into patterns you like. The ingredients:

-8 cups all purpose flour
-1 cup squeezed orange juice
-Orange zest (grated orange peel)
-4 egg yolks
-3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
-1 1/2 cups sugar
-1 pound unsalted butter
-3 eggs lightly beaten

Keep the butter out overnight or for a few hours. Add it to a large bowl, then add the sugar, then use an egg beater until the mixture is very creamy. After a few minutes, before you're done mixing it, add the 4 egg yolks.

After a few more minutes, add the orange zest and keep mixing it. Add a little bit of orange juice at a time while you mix the butter and keep adding flour. When the butter/flour mixture gets firm enough knead it by hand while still adding flour and orange juice.

Get a small bowl and mix some flour and baking powder and add it to the butter mix. Then mix that with a spoon and gradually add more flour and baking powder as you keep stirring it.

Knead the dough until it's firm and doesn't stick to your hands. Use unsalted butter and coat a baking pan with it, and make designs with the dough how my mom does or however you like and put them on the pan.

Lightly whip the 3 eggs and brush them onto the designs you've made. Bake them at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

That's it! I enjoy eating the dough.
