The Greek Cookies Recipe
This is a recipe I got from my Sicilian mother in law, who refered to them as the greek cookies, I don't know why but knowing my mother in law a greek person probably gave her the recipe. But they are a favorite. Picture Marie from Everyone Loves Ra... More

Love the story and the recipe! Say hi to "Marie" for me...she sounds like a fun lady!


These are called *KOURAMBIEDES* in Greek. They were traditionally served at weddings but now show up at every holiday table! Thanks for sharing! But where are the photos you mention? :)
