Easter Koulourakia | Greek Easter Cookies Recipe

Here's an authentic recipe for Easter koulourakia. In this video I show you how to make traditional Greek Easter cookies. This is a very easy recipe for these Greek Easter cookies that has been handed down from generation to generation. This recipe uses orange juice for flavouring rather than ouzo, mastiha or brandy. The only real trick is the orange juice and baking soda combination and rotating the cookies during baking. Try this Greek koulourakia recipe for Easter and keep making them year round!!!!

God rest your soul Ken. I am heart broken that the world has lost such as wonderful person. My condolences to Evgenia and the rest of his family. :(
I will forever continue to make his recipes because he was a great cook!

I remember rolling these out beside my yia yia when I was a young girl. We'd make soooo many cookies for all of the family members to take a nice big container of them home. I haven't had any in years, and now I'm inspired to try my hand at them this year. Thank you!

Ken, I made these for the Sunday Greek church coffee hour last week and everyone went crazy over them! Your recipe got so many compliments from the Greek Ladies and that says a lot for this recipe ;)

The kitchen aide mix master is my 3rd arm. Would not can not bake without it. I love it when something other then me puts the beating process at ease. This kitchen appliance does a far better job.then I could.lol

I've never mixed the orange juice with the baking powder... brilliant! I have to try a practice batch before Easter. Thank you for a great tutorial and have an amazing week!

I get such a kick out if you! I closed my eyes for a minute as you smelled that cooky, and I was transported back to my YiaYia's kitchen at Easter time. A tear sneaked down my cheek as I reminisced. Ken, thank you.

Thank you for the recipe & instructions & tips. I tried it & it came out nice. The only ingredient difference was no shortening (just replaced it with the butter I was using). My orange juice & baking powder didn't fizz quite as much as yours. I let the dough rest for 45 minutes, in a bowl covered with cling wrap. It was easy to handle & roll after that, no vegetable oil needed.

I really enjoyed your instruction and watching you bake. Thank you. These are my absolute favorite cookie. I'm no longer near a Greek bakery; so, bake I must. I'm looking forward to making this unique recipe. I hope mine are as good as your's. I could have eaten one whole tray.

If I use butter instead of shortening, how much butter?

[peterkolovos]

I see you don't add Baker's Ammonia? My Grandmother did and it added an excellent flavor to her Kouloria.

[angelalaraia]

THANK-YOU for the recipe i will make them have a great Easter i just need to ask you a question do you have to use the shortened can you use vegetables oil because in a Australia it is hard to find

[stratisconstas]

Great Video - I started to look at your other videos.I liked the tip on vegetable oil for the dough. I get a bit frustrated when the dough gets sticky. Will try that in the future.

I am wondering could this be converted keto friendly cookies? I am thinking of swapping out flour with almond with psyllium husk and sugars with Erythritol. Do you think that will change the flavor too much from the traditional cookies?
