In Greek: κουλουρ?κια, pronounced koo-loo-RAHK-yah
At home, we generally make these in ring or spiral shapes, but they can be easily formed into any shape by creative hands. Because the cookies are small and the strips of dough are fun to work with, kids have a great time coming up with their own shapes.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup of unsalted butter, softened (1/2 pound or 2 sticks)
1 cup of sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon of grated orange peel
1 tablespoon of baking powder
4 cups of all-purpose flour
PREPARATION:
In a small bowl, combine the flour and baking powder with a whisk.
In another bowl, cream the butter and add sugar gradually. Beat the eggs until light and add to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well.
Add the flour and baking powder mixture slowly, blending to make a soft and malleable dough.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
To shape each ring, pull off a piece of dough the size of a walnut and roll it out by hand into a rope about 4 inches long. Form a circle (or other shape) with it, and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving some distance between the cookies. Brush the tops lightly with beaten egg and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on racks.
