5/5 (1)Published 2022-01-06Category Cookies, Recipe Roundup
- 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.
