The first time my mother in law made these for me she thought I ate 15 of them in one night. It wasn’t until the next night she caught her German shepherd jumping on the lounge chair to get up on the counter and steal all the melomakarona.😂
That’s such a funny story! Sounds like the melomakarona were popular with everyone-even the dog managed to sneak some. Your mother-in-law must’ve been so surprised to find out what happened!
Made these. Definitely could taste the orange because where I’m at my flour is very dry I probably had to add a whole extra cup of orange juice to it 😂 but they are soooo good
It's funny how I associate these cookies with Easter and kourabiedes with Christmas.. Still doesn't stop me from making them..lol.. They are a highly requested dessert.
That’s so wonderful to hear! Melomakarona always have a way of bringing back sweet memories, don’t they? 💛 I hope this recipe reminds you of your Aunt Penny’s and brings a little extra joy to your holiday season!
My goodness they look absolutely scrumptious.
Thank you Dimitra mou christmas is mot christmas without your lovely recipes.

My favourite Greek biscuits, thanks so much
You're welcome! Enjoy 😊
Oh wow those look fabulous I want to try them out. Thank you 😊
Very interesting and I have to ask, why do you add the baking soda in the wet ingradients and not in the dry? I've never done it that way before.
These are the best cookies for Xmas. I know them as FINIKIA
I swear no cookie on earth can match these 🇬🇷
Right! These cookies are truly something else. Hope you enjoy!
I know I would love these cookies. Do you think pecans would work in place of walnuts?
My favorite cookies thank you for sharing!😋❤

Greek cake. Soft and sticky

Is Semolina flour a must?
Lovely video- thank you!❤

Oh my goodness my Aunt Penny used to make them. I had forgotten about these.
