How to Make Kourabiedes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the brandy or cognac, almond extract, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and continue to beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the finely chopped almonds, all-purpose flour, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Take small portions of the dough and shape them into crescent or round cookies. You can make any shape you prefer.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until they are slightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- While the cookies are still warm, dust them generously with powdered sugar. This is a crucial step in creating the traditional look and taste of Kourabiedes.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, transfer them to an airtight container, layering them with wax paper. This will keep them fresh and prevent sticking.
- Enjoy your homemade Kourabiedes with a cup of Greek coffee or tea. They make a wonderful treat for celebrations or as gifts during the holiday season. Kalí órexi! (Bon appétit!)
