ReplyDeleteBaking cookies in the Greek tradition requires a lot of stamina. My mother and her Greek women friends would spend an entire day or even two making hundreds of koulourakia, typically braided cookies glazed with egg yolk. Best part of the tradition: Because they were made with eggs, milk and butter, my mother said they were a wholesome food and gave them to me for breakfast.
