About Koulouraki

Koulouraki are traditional Greek butter cookies known for their delicate sweetness, light texture, and distinctive twisted or braided shapes. These treats typically include simple ingredients like flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla, with a hint of orange zest or brandy to enhance their flavor. Often topped with sesame seeds or brushed with egg wash for a golden finish, Koulouraki are commonly enjoyed with coffee or tea, especially during Easter celebrations. While they provide quick energy due to their carbohydrate content, their high sugar and butter levels mean they should be consumed in moderation. On the healthier side, variations made with whole wheat flour or reduced sugar enhance their nutritional profile. Perfectly combining tradition and indulgence, Koulouraki remain a beloved staple in Greek cuisine and a delightful representation of Mediterranean baking traditions.
