Greek Easter Cookies
Greek Easter Cookies, known as "Koulourakia," are traditional sweet treats made during the Easter season in Greece. These cookies are typically flavored with vanilla or orange zest and have a buttery texture. They are often shaped into braids or twists, giving them a distinctive appearance.
The preparation of Koulourakia is a cherished family tradition, often involving children in the shaping process. After baking, the cookies are usually brushed with an egg wash to achieve a golden color. They are enjoyed during the Holy Week and are often served alongside other festive foods during the Easter celebration.
