"Koulouraki"

Local butter cookies

In Greece we name “koulouraki” all the baked treats that somebody would call cookies. They are created in many different shapes sizes and tastes. The braided version though is considered a classic.

ORIGIN

Our recipes have their roots in the beautiful southern Peloponnese peninsula. With its mountainous interior and its deeply indented coasts, the area is blessed with climatic conditions that favor agricultural production, thus offering to the local house wives a variety of ingredients to use in their home-made “koulouraki” treats.
