These cookies are a tradition at Greek weddings and are usually made by both of the mothers. Then, of course, there are the inevitable comparisons between the two. LOL These also make a great holiday cookie. If you like you can substitute walnuts or hazelnuts (browned) if you don't like almonds. Read more This is my mother's recipe. See less
