#greekfood #comfortfood #littlecookingtips #koulourakia #buttercookies

These delicious and crisp cookies are a staple in Greek cuisine, especially during Easter. Koulourakia must be both crispy and not very dense. Crispiness is the texture you are looking for. You want these cookies to crack and leave crumbs, just like biscotti or English biscuits do.
They are also a very versatile sweet treat. It can be served as a grab-and-go breakfast, a treat and a dessert. But mostly koulourakia are an excellent side treat with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!

The ingredients:
For about 40 cookies
- 1kg / 35oz / 2.2lb (8 cups) all-purpose flour
- 250g / 8.8oz (2 sticks and 1 1/2 tablespoons), softened unsalted butter *
- 350g / 12oz / 0.7lb (1 3/4 cups) sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 4 medium-sized eggs (+1 for glazing)
- 2 tbsp (from 2 medium-sized oranges) orange zest
- 1 tbsp vanilla
