Nowadays most koulourakia recipes call for baking powder and baking soda, but experience has shown me that.
Koulourakia are traditional Greek Easter cookies that are infused with orange zest and perfect for dunking in coffee.
Use baking ammonia for a fully authentic cookie!

I had these cookies for the first time at the huge Greek Orthodox Church, St. I was dating my now husband, and we went down to the basement of the church where all the women in the church had been baking. Koulourakia are delicious, crunchy, butter cookies great for dunking in coffee or milk. They are the Greek version of biscotti. They are very filling and I consider them healthy as they are made with a little bit of butter and sugar and mostly eggs and flour.
