MELOMAKARONA (Greek honey spiced cookies)

Melomakarona are Greek honey spiced cookies usually baked for Christmas. They're made with oil and have no eggs, no milk, and no butter. They're covered in walnuts or chocolate!

“Melomakarona” is a Greek word which in a free translation you could say it means “honey macaroons”. However, according to some sources the name comes from the ancient Greek work “makaria” which was a piece of bread offered in certain ceremonies. When you add “meli” (the Greek word for honey) over “makaria”, then you get a melomakarono!

These Greek Christmas cookies are spiced with orange zest, cinnamon and ground cloves and once they’re baked, they get soaked in a honey-based syrup. Traditionally, they’re covered in crashed walnuts but today you can also find them covered in chocolate, so I decided to make them both ways to keep everyone happy.
