Steps:
- To prepare these orange flavored Greek cookies, all you have to do is to add all the ingredients together into a large bowl and blend with your hands, until combined.
- Shape the cookies with your hands, giving them any shape you like and bake at 180C for 20-25 minutes, until nicely colored. Remember to use some parchment paper layered on the baking tray so that they don't stick and leave some distance between the cookies, as they will rise a bit when baked.

ORANGE COOKIES (KOULOURAKIA)
At one time, I made these often as a nice treat with a quiet cup of tea. Unlike the other koulourakia recipes posted here, this one is not a butter cookie, rather a nice combination of citrus and walnuts. Though these are traditionally served with a light dusting of powdered sugar, my guess is dipping the ends in chocolate would also work well. More recently tried to reduce the fat by replacing some of the butter, but have not had great results. The addition of applesauce and other fruit purees makes the cookie lose its characteristic crispiness. At best you can swap out 1 or 2 tablespoons of the butter, no more. Preparation time does not include 90 minutes required to chill the dough. This recipe is being posted for the 'Zaar World Tour.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spread walnuts in a single layer on a ungreased cookie sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even toasting. Remove from oven and let cool.
- In a large bowl, combine flour baking powder, baking soda, cloves. Set aside.
- In a food processor (or blender), combine the lemon and orange zest with the sugar. Process for several minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides. You want the zest to be chopped very fine and well incorporated into the sugar. Add the walnuts and canola oil and continue processing until the walnuts have been pureed into the sugar. Transfer to a small bowl.
- Place the butter into the food processor and mix for a minute until the butter is light and fluffy. Add the sugar, zest, walnut mixture, egg and egg yolk and either brandy or juice. Process just until these ingredients are well mixed into the butter.
- Gradually add in the flour, pulsing quickly after each addition. Use as little mixing time at this point as over-processing the dough toughens the cookie. Once mixed, divide dough into two balls, wrap each ball in wax paper and place in fridge for 90 minutes or longer.
- Preheat (or reheat) oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cookie sheets with a light brush of oil or cooking spray.
- Take one ball of dough and split in half. Return half to fridge while working with the other. With the half you are working with, pinch off a ball of dough about the size of a shelled walnut. Quickly roll into a rope about 4 to 6 inches long. Ropes can be shaped into rings, horseshoes or an 'S.' Place on cookie sheet 2 inches apart. If the dough warms and becomes difficult to handle, return it to the fridge and continue working with another piece of well-chilled dough.
- Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until they are browned on the edges and just a little golden on the tops. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 2 or 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Once fully cooled, dust with powdered sugar.

CITRUS & SPICE COOKIE TWISTS (KOULOURAKIA PORTOKALIOU)
Posted for ZWT6 Greek Region: Koulourakia Portokaliou - The translation of the Greek name for these cookies is "orange cookie twists," probably because the name with all ingredients would be too long! These cookies are made with the juice of oranges and lemons, and the zest of a clementine or tangerine, making them truly a citrus delight. Koulourakia are less sweet than other cookies and a traditional olive oil cookie - no butter - and they keep well stored in tins or frozen. Found on an authentic Greek recipe site for easy recipes. **If you do not have cognac/brandy - substitute 1/3 cup fresh orange juice and one teaspoon vanilla mixed together before placing in recipe. The number of cookies is purely a guess as I've not made this recipe yet.

Steps:
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the olive oil, sunflower oil, sugar, and grated peel, and add all remaining ingredients except the flour mixture. Combine well.
- Add the flour slowly, mixing with pastry hooks or by hand to make the dough. The dough is ready when it pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl or when it no longer sticks to the hands.
- Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C).
- Take small pieces of dough, roll by hand into ropes and form into shapes: spirals, figure eights, pretzel shapes, etc.
- Place on ungreased cookie sheets leaving space between, and bake at 340°F (170°C) for 35-45 minutes, until lightly browned. Test for doneness. Cookies should be lightly browned and wonderfully crumbly all the way through.
- Cool on racks completely. When thoroughly cooled, store in cookie tins or glass containers with tightly-fitting lids, or freeze in plastic bags.

Another recipe from my Foods class. Very good. If your kitchen is fairly cool you probably don't need to chill the dough. It just makes it easier to handle.

10 TRADITIONAL GREEK COOKIES - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
5/5 (1)Published Jan 6, 2022Category 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.
