Koulourakia - Greek Easter Cookies

For all homemade cookie lovers, this is a delicious traditional Greek dessert. These traditional Greek cookies are very chewy and flavorful, and go perfectly with a cup of milk or for your coffee break.

And since there are never enough cookies in my house, I make double portions. Enjoy!

Ingredients
 
 

Ingredients

  • 280 g flour
  • ⅓ tsp salt
  • 90 g sugar
  • 4 tbsp sour cream
  • 120 g butter
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla sugar
  • grated zest of 1 lemon
  • grated zest of 1 orange

Instructions
 

How to make Koulourakia – Greek Easter Cookies:

  • Wash the lemon and orange well. Finely grate the peel of the fruit and mix it with the flour and salt.
  • Mix the soft butter at room temperature with the sugar and vanilla sugar.
  • Add the egg yolks one at a time and mix well after each addition.
  • Add the 4 tablespoons of cream and mix gently.
  • Add the flour gradually, in several batches, and mix slowly after each addition. You should get a slightly soft dough, which will harden in the refrigerator.
  • Wrap the dough in foil and chill for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (355 Fahrenheit) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a well floured work surface.
  • Cut the dough into 24 approximately equal pieces.
  • Form each piece into a 20cm (approx. 7.8 inch) long strand.
  • Join the ends of the strand and then twist it to make a braid.
  • Place all the biscuits in the baking tray and bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Remove and leave to cool, then sprinkle with plenty of sugar.
  • They are more than delicious!
