In Greece, Christmas brings with it a delightful rivalry between two iconic cookies: Melomakarono and Kourabiedes. Each has its unique charm and a loyal following, making the holiday season even sweeter.
Melomakarono are traditional vegan cookies, crafted from honey, virgin olive oil, cinnamon, and cloves. These delightful treats are especially popular during the fasting period leading up to Christmas, as they contain no eggs. Their warm, spiced flavor and moist texture make them a must-try for anyone celebrating the season.
On the other side of the cookie battle, we have Kourabiedes—buttery almond biscuits dusted with a generous layer of powdered sugar. These cookies are notoriously messy; one bite often sends clouds of sugar floating through the air, much to the chagrin of parents who find their living rooms coated in a sugary haze when guests come over!
So, which team are you on? Are you a fan of the rich, spiced Melomakarono, or do you prefer the indulgent, messy charm of Kourabiedes? Either way, the festive season wouldn’t be complete without both!
