Melomakarona
Melomakarona are traditional Greek cookies typically enjoyed during the Christmas season. Made from flour, olive oil, and orange juice, they are flavored with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. After baking, the cookies are soaked in a syrup made from honey and sugar, giving them a sweet and moist texture.
These delightful treats are often topped with crushed walnuts, adding a crunchy contrast to their soft interior. Melomakarona are not only popular in Greece but also among Greek communities worldwide, symbolizing the festive spirit and the joy of sharing during the holiday season.
