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

Recipe makes 55-60 cookies.
It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas with these wickedly delicious Honey Cookies-Finikia or Foinikia (Melomakarona)! I can't think of a better way to celebrate the festive season than by preparing these mouth-watering honey cookies at home. The whole house will be filled with aromas of cinnamon, cloves, honey and orange-the fragrances of Christmas!! Although making them is a bit of work, the end result will be worth it. Once you try them, you will never forget their exquisite taste!!
This recipe is a slight variation from the renowned Melomakarona recipe. The cookies are called Finikia (as they used to be called in Asia Minor) and this is the way my Yiayia prepared them, using a recipe originating from Greeks who lived in Egypt in 1st half of 20th century. The main difference is the use of both Semolina And Flour in the dough, resulting in mellower and softer Honey cookies, in texture and taste. I hope you will enjoy it!
Suitable for vegetarians.
Vegans can replace honey with Maple syrup or Molasses.
Ingredients:
For the cookies:
500 gr. all-purpose flour
320 gr. Fine Semolina
4 tsp. baking powder
360 ml. Vegetable oil
125 gr. melted Butter or Margarine
50 gr. Powder Sugar
250 ml fresh Orange Juice
2 tsp. Orange Zest
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/3 tsp. ground cloves
125 gr. finely chopped walnuts
For the syrup: 520 gr. sugar
470 ml. water
150 gr. greek thyme Honey or other good quality honey
Χριστουγεννιάτικα Υπέροχα Φοινίκια (Μελομακάρονα) από την γιαγιά Ντέπη
Φτιάχνει 55-60 τεμ.
Αρχίζει να μυρίζει Χριστούγεννα το σπίτι με αυτά τα πεντανόστιμα Φοινίκια (Μελομακάρονα)! Δεν μπορώ να σκεφτώ έναν καλύτερο τρόπο να γιορτάσω την εποχή των Γιορτών παρά να προετοιμάσω αυτά τα υπέροχα μπισκότα στο σπίτι. Όλο το σπίτι γεμίζει με αρώματα κανέλας, γαρίφαλου, μελιού και πορτοκαλιού - τα αρώματα των Χριστουγέννων !! Αν και η κατασκευή τους είναι λίγος κόπος, το τελικό αποτέλεσμα αξίζει τον κόπο. Μόλις τα δοκιμάσετε, δεν θα ξεχάσετε ποτέ την εξαίσια γεύση τους !! Αυτή η συνταγή είναι μια μικρή παραλλαγή από τη γνωστή συνταγή για Μελομακάρονα. Τα μπισκότα ονομάζονται Φοινίκια (όπως ονομάζονταν στη Μικρά Ασία) και αυτός είναι ο τρόπος που τα έφτιαχνε η Γιαγιά μου, χρησιμοποιώντας μια συνταγή από Έλληνες πού ζούσαν στην Αίγυπτο (Αιγυπτιώτες) το 1ο μισό του 20ού αιώνα. Η κύρια διαφορά είναι η χρήση Αλευριού αλλά και Σιμιγδαλιού στη ζύμη, με αποτέλεσμα τα μπισκότα να είναι μαλακότερα και πιο μελάτα σε υφή και γεύση. Ελπίζω να τα απολαύσετε! Κατάλληλο για χορτοφάγους, εφόσον αντικαταστήσουν το μέλι με σιρόπι Maple, Agave ή μελάσα.
Κατάλληλο και για νηστεία!
Υλικά:
Για τα μπισκότα
500 γρ. Αλεύρι για όλες τις χρήσεις
320 γρ. Σιμιγδάλι ψιλό
4 κ.γ. μπέικιν πάουντερ
360 ml. Λάδι (ελαιόλαδο ή άλλο)
125 γρ. λιωμένο Βούτυρο ή Μαργαρίνη
50 γρ. Ζάχαρη άχνη
250 ml φρέσκος χυμός Πορτοκαλιού
2 κ.γ. ξύσμα Πορτοκαλιού
1 κ.γ. Κανέλα σκόνη
1/3 κ.γ. Γαρύφαλο σκόνη
125 γρ. ψιλοκομμένα Καρύδια
Για το σιρόπι:
520 γρ. Ζάχαρη κρυσταλλική
470 ml. Νερό
150 γρ. ελληνικό θυμαρίσιο Μέλι ή άλλο μέλι καλής ποιότητας
Σημείωση-Χορτοφάγοι: Αντικαταστήστε το μέλι με σιρόπι Maple, Agave ή μελάσα.
