Koulourakia Recipe— Greek Butter Cookies

 

Ingredients

 

For the Cookies:

 

12 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 1/4 cup sugar

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 tablespoon whisky or brandy

2 tablespoons orange juice

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

3/4 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

4-5 cups AP flour, divided

1 teaspoon salt

 

For the Glaze:

 

1 egg

1 tablespoon milk

1/4 cup sesame seeds (optional)

 

Instructions

 

Cream butter until light and fluffy.

Add sugar and beat the mixture until it lightens in color and is creamy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Stop mixer and scrape down bowl.

Add the whisky, vanilla, and orange juice.

Turn mixer tow low speed. Combine the baking powder, baking soda, and salt with 1 cup of flour, and add it to the mixer. Scrape down bowl.

Gradually beat in 3-4 additional cups of flour until a soft dough forms and the dough starts to release from the sides of the bowl. You want it to be a soft — not stiff dough — so once it starts pulling away from the sides of the mixing bowl, stop adding flour. <<—If you add too much flour, the cookies will be tough, so stop adding it once the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.

Cover in plastic and let rest for 30 min. This step can be done a day ahead. Resting and refrigerating the dough is essential, or else you won't be able to roll out the cookies.

Once the dough has chilled, form the cookies by taking a heaping teaspoon of dough and rolling it into a 5 to 6-inch long piece. Fold in half and twist together.

Place 1 inch apart on a parchment or greased foil- lined baking sheet. Continue until all twists are formed.

Whisk together 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon milk and glaze cookies with a pastry brush. Top with sesame seeds (optional).

Bake in a pre-heated 350-degree oven for 15 to 25 minutes, or until golden in color. If you're baking multiple cookie sheets at once, place one on the top rack and one underneath and switch half way through.

Remove to a rack and cool. Store in covered containers.
