Kourabiedes Recipe

From Whiskers, Wreaths & Murder

Yield: approximately 3 dozen cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sweet butter
  • 2 cups flour1 cup blanched almonds cut in small pieces & toasted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 boxes powdered sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2.  Beat butter until creamy. Add one cup powdered sugar and beat again.
    Add egg yolks, one at a time, and beat after each.
  3. When mixture is light in color, add flour and toasted almonds and knead well.
  4. Take small pieces of dough and make balls in palm of hand. Shape into rounds and crescents.
  5. Place on cookie sheet one inch apart and bake 20 min or until light brown.
  6. Allow to cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet.
  7. Carefully place on a flat surface that has been sprinkled with confectioners sugar (I lay wax paper on the counter).
  8. Sprinkle lots and lots of sifted confectioners sugar over cookies.

Tip:

If these cookies are purchased from a Greek bakery, they will be heavily coated in powdered sugar. I’ve never yet been able to coat mine as heavily and have never used two boxes of sugar.
