- This video will show you my step by step recipe to master the Greek Easter cookies we know and love as Koulourakia. They are tender, easy to make and loaded with Easter flavours like masticha, anise, orange and lemon zests. They are a family favourite. FULL RECIPE BELOW
RECIPE: GREEK EASTER COOKIES - KOULORAKIA
Ingredients:
3 eggs (room temp)
1/2 cup butter (125ml)
3/4 cup sugar (185 ml)
1 cup cake flour (250 ml)
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour (430 ml)
1 tbsp. baking powder ( 15 ml)
grated zest of 1 lemon
grated zest of 1 clementine
1 tsp. ground anise (5 ml)
¼ tsp. masticha - optional
1 tsp. vanilla (5 ml)
pinch salt
1 egg beaten (for brushing on top of cookies )
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F.
Sesame seeds, optional
Cream butter on medium speed for about 5 minutes until light and creamy. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat on medium speed for another 5 minutes until light and fluffly. Add zest, anise, vanilla and beat until combined. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time and beat well after each addition.
Sift together the flours, salt and baking powder. Add to the egg mixture and beat for 2 minutes on low speed until combined. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. If dough seems very sticky in your hands than sprinkle with a little flour and knead gently by hand.
Divide dough into 2 logs. Cut each log into 12 equal pieces. Roll each ball into a strip about 6 " (15 cm )long and then fold in half and twist like a braid. Place each twist on a baking sheet ( about 2 inches apart)lined with parchment paper or sprayed. Brush each cookie with beaten egg ..
Bake at 350 Degrees for about 17-20 minutes or until golden on all sides.
Makes about 24 medium twists

Great to see you again Christine.
Many thanks! It's good to be back
Γεια σου, Christine. I love the idea of putting μαστίχα and anise in these cookies. I must tell my mom as she is preparing to bake some tonight! The one thing she does that you might find interesting is that she adds sesame seeds to the tops of them after the egg wash, but not just plain sesame seeds, she toasts the seeds in a pan first. It adds a great flavour.
Well that is perfect timing! I also love sprinkling with sesame seeds also. I hope hers turn out great and happy Easter !
Thank you. Happy Easter to you, as well.
Very happy to see an upload from you, been a while, welcome back. The smell memories from Greece are strong with this one...I wish I could have some with my morning coffee tomorrow.
Thank you and happy to be back also. Yes , these are so good with the morning coffee!
Welcome back, Christine. Great recipe. In fact, you should publish another cookbook about your UA-cam food channel because it's really awesome.

Hi Christine---thanks for this wonderful recipe! Even though as you say, you don't have the resources right now to be on camera, both your enthusiasm and mastery of the subject translate very very well! I just discovered you on youtube and could see there was an "away" period. So glad I only had to wait a few days for your return, LOL. You really inspire me through your knowledge of the dish and your easy wit. I love the clarity of your instruction and I always feel happy and ready to go at the end. Please keep on keeping!!! 💞💞💞

Awesome thank you
You are most welcome !
Hi Christine!! Haven’t seen you in a while. These cakies look awesome. Definitely making them for Easter. I’m sure that they will make a few tongues wag!! Ty. Don’t stay away so long, eh! ‘Til next time….👍👍
Yes, it has been a while but it's good to be back . Thank you and I hope you enjoy the cookies. Happy Easter
Yay you’re back!!
Thank you . Glad to be back
Going to gather the spices (Amazon?) and bake these lovely cookies. I don't have a mixer like that. If I'm brave I could do it with a whisk perhaps. I'll report back here but I'm in the middle of a move so it'll be a few weeks...
I'm pretty sure you can find the spices on Amazon. If you have a hand mixer that will also be fine. Otherwise and wooden spoon is best, albeit a bit more time consuming. Good luck with your move !
Ciao Christine ! It's been a long time since I've seen you. I hope you are well.
Bentornata e auguri di Buona Pasqua ! 👋😊💕
Molte grazie ! I'm glad to be back. Buona Pasqua.
Bravo 👍👍👍👍👍🤲
Any cookie is a good cookie. That is what I believe, just saying😎🤘👁🌞♠.
That's a great saying ! Agreed
Thanks for sharing your recipe! What vanilla paste do you use?
You are welcome. I use a vanilla paste from Neilsen Massey .
Where have you been ? I missed you .
Thank and glad to be back !
Do you use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe?
I always use unsalted butter , especially in baking. That way you can control the amount of salt you add and you butter is fresher . I hope you try them
@@ChristineCushing I do the same, but just wanted to check. Thanks for your reply!
Medium high heat, lol.
hahahah ! I heard it at the end when I was posting it. So funny but glad you caught it.
Ok can we just order from you because this will never work out for me!! Just saying..i want cookies made by authentic Greeks,!!! Yum🙂🙂😘😘
Dear Christine, are you ok ? the recipe was great but I missed seeing you
Yes, thank you. I just don't have the resources to shoot the videos with me in , so I am trying this simplified system so I can still produce great video recipes. I hope you enjoy
