About Koulourakia
Koulourakia are traditional Greek twisted butter cookies, often enjoyed during Easter festivities. Made with simple ingredients like flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla, these cookies are known for their light crunch and subtle sweetness. They are typically shaped by hand into braids or twists and topped with a glaze of egg wash for a golden finish. Koulourakia’s origins trace back to ancient Greece, where similar treats were offered as ceremonial sweets. While delicious, their nutritional profile reflects their dessert nature; they are high in refined carbohydrates, sugars, and saturated fats. However, they offer small amounts of protein from eggs and pair well with coffee or tea for mindful consumption. To enjoy them in moderation, consider smaller portions or recipes with alternative flours and reduced sugar. As a cultural treat, Koulourakia provides a tasty snapshot of Greek culinary tradition.
