This is a great recipe of my Grandmother Despina!!!!
In Greek: μελομακάρονα (pronounced meh-lo-mah-KAH-ro-nah)
These honey-soaked cookies are a Christmas tradition all over Greece.
The recipe is very forgiving except in two areas: the dough should not be overworked or the cookies will become too dense; and the shape should be rounded, not flat or they will harden during baking. The baked cookies should have a texture slightly more dense than spice cake in order to absorb the syrup.
Prep Time: 35 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
