KOULOURAKIA (GREEK SESAME TWIST COOKIES)



Koulourakia (Greek Sesame Twist Cookies) image

These are called Koulourakia in Greece, and is traditionally served at Easter and Christmas time, but they are wonderful to make at any time. After you have twisted the dough 4-5 times you can shape it into any shape you desire before baking, I shape it into a candy cane form for Christmas. Store these in an airtight container
