Why I Love This Recipe

Kourambiethes, or Greek Butter Cookies, are a family favorite and are traditionally made for holidays and special occasions.


Ingredients You'll Need

1 Cup Butter
4 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
1 Oz. Whiskey
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla
1 Teaspoon Almond Extract
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
3 1/2 Cups Flour
1 Egg
1 Cup Additional Powdered Sugar for Rolling Cookies


Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees.


Beat together butter and the 4 Tablespoons of powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.


Beat in egg.  Add whiskey, vanilla and almond extract.  Beat well.   Sift together flour, baking powder and baking soda.  Add to mixture; stir in, do not beat.  Dough should be soft but not sticky.


Pinch off one inch balls of dough and shape into crescents.  Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until bottom is lightly browned.


Place cookies on wire rack and let cool for about 5 to 6 minutes.  Roll in additional powdered sugar.   This easy recipe makes 3 dozen cookies.

Is whiskey absolutely necessary? Will the end result be just as good without it?
