• What You’ll Need

  To make these classic Greek Easter cookies, you’ll need:

  • Unsalted butter (for a rich, buttery texture) 

  • Granulated Sugar (for sweetness)

  • Vanilla extract or Vanillin (for flavor)

  • Eggs (plus 1 extra yolk for brushing)

  • Milk

  • Orange juice & zest (adds a citrusy aroma)

  • Baking powder

  • All-purpose flour

  • Salt

  • Cognac (optional) (for extra depth of flavor)

                                How to Make Them:

• • • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    • Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes with a mixer).

      

    • Add the eggs, vanilla, and orange zest, then mix well.

    • Dissolve baking soda in milk and add it to the mixture.

    • Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt, then slowly add to the wet ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.

      

    • Shape the koulourakia: Take small pieces of dough, roll them into ropes, and twist them into braids, spirals, or any traditional koulourakia shape.

•  Brush with egg yolk to achieve a beautiful golden color

• Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown.
• Cool and enjoy! Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
