Kourabiedes (Greek Butter Christmas Cookies) Recipe
"These Greek Christmas cookies are super buttery and tender-they melt in your mouth! The 2 most popular shapes are rounds and half-moons, I like to do some of each. Sometimes a single clove is stuck into each cookie before baking. This is done to commemorate the spices which were among the gifts the Biblical Magi presented to baby Jesus...."
