Melomakarouna/ Greek Phoenician Cookies a.k.a Greek Honey Cookies
μελομακάρονα, Φοινικιά
Recipe:
Makes 24-26 cookies:
For the dough:
4 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup vegetable oil
½ cup sugar
½ cup orange juice
Zest of 2 oranges
For the syrup:
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
2 cups honey
For the garnish:
¾ cup ground walnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, 177 degrees Celsius.
Place the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and orange zest into a bowl. Whisk together to combine.
Always zest citrus before juicing.
Combine the oil, sugar, and orange juice in the bowl of a table top mixer with the paddle attachment and mix to combine.
Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until the dough comes together. It will still appear a bit crumbly but you will know it is ready by squeezing a portion in your palm. If it sticks together it is ready, if it still appears crumbly add 1-2 tablespoons oil and mix some more.
Turn the dough out onto a work surface, compress it and form a circle. Roll out to ½ inch in thickness. Do not use any additional flour to do this.
Using a 2 and ¼ inch round cookie cutter, cut out the cookies. Place them on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Use a fork to make marks on each cookie.
Bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
While the cookies are baking make the syrup. Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add the honey. Stir until incorporated.
As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, put them all together in one of the trays and pour the hot syrup over them.
After 30 minutes, carefully flip each cookie over so that both sides absorb the syrup. Allow the cookies to absorb the syrup in the pan for at least 2 hours.
Combine the ground walnuts, cinnamon and clove powder and mix well. Sprinkle this garnish over each cookie and serve!
These stay fresh in an airtight container up to 3 weeks.
Enjoy

Honey cookies (Melomakarona)
Honey cookies - Melomakarona - are Greek traditional Christmas cookies. They are soft and moist cake-like cookies, flavored with cognac and orange, soaked in honey syrup and sprinkled with walnuts. While baking them, sweet spices like cinnamon and clove, make your home smell heavenly :)
Ingredients:
For the syrup:
8.3 oz (235 g) sugar
6.8 us fl oz (200 ml) water
1 cinnamon stick
11.8 oz (335 g) honey
For the dough:
25.2 oz (715 g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1.5 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
0.46 oz (13 g) powdered cinnamon
0.25 oz (7 g) clove (powder)
1/2 cup (100 ml) orange juice
1/2 cup (100 ml) cognac
2 cups (400 ml) sunflower oil
zest of two oranges
Make the syrup first.
In a pot add sugar, water and cinnamon stick. Stir and bring to a boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the honey and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl mix together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Stir to combine and then add sugar, cinnamon and clove. Mix to combine well.
In another bowl add orange juice, cognac, oil and orange zest. Mix well.
Gradually add flour mixture to liquid mixture. Don't overwork the dough. Only knead until the flour is fully incorporated.Dough will be soft but not too loose and it will be moist but not sticky.
Preheat the oven to 356 F (180 C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Shape the cookies. Form them into oblong shape about the size of a walnut ( or bigger if you prefer). Lightly press the top of each cookie with the tines of a fork in a crosshatch pattern.
Bake cookies for 20 minutes.
While they are still very warm, soak them in cold honey syrup for 10-20 seconds.
Sprinkle melomakarona with chopped walnuts.
Store them at room temperature.
Enjoy! :)

Melomakarona - Greek Christmas Honey Cookies
Melomakarona are traditional greek Christmas cookies, dipped in honey syrup and sprinkled with finely chopped walnuts! They have a distinct cinnamon, clove and orange aroma and they smell like Christmas! Since they are a festive treat, related to the Christian religion and the fasting period, these cookies are actually vegetarian (and if honey is substituted with maple or agave syrup the can considered vegan as well). Traditionally melomakarona are fully loaded with honey syrup, they are extra sweet and moist. However, I prefer them to be less sweet, crunchier and with less syrup. Moreover I prefer them in a size a little bit bigger than a bite and I give them the shape of a star (in contrast with the traditional ones , which are oval shaped and a little bit bigger than mine).
