☕️ About this recipe:

These amazing Greek cookies are made with everyday baking staples, kid-friendly and so easy to make! Serve with a hot cup of coffee for a sweet treat (or breakfast, like we sometimes like to do!).

We adore Koulourakia for their delicious crumbly texture and not-too-sweet flavour. The refreshing citrus burst of fresh orange zest will have you raiding the cookie jar again and again this Easter.

Make a double batch and freeze (the dough OR the baked biscuits) for later, or make enough to include in a gift hamper for your favourite foodies.c

These are not authentic Greek koulourakia. The ingredients are off, there is never sumac and the shapes are inconsistent.
