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
