Greek easter cookies

For Easter, in Greece, we make cookies that we call "koulourakia" and as Easter is approaching, find today the recipe that I like and I make together with my kids. It's so much fun for kids as they can use the dough as play-doh and use their creativity to shape the cookies. Even you will feel better after playing/doing these cookies :)
I will give you half of the dose that I made, as it makes so many cookies that fun will turn into torture otherwise :))))  

Ingredients
250gr of butter
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of white dry wine
1 cup of oil
2 egg yolks (+1 extra egg for the top)
3 teaspoons of baking powder
vanilla
1Kg of flour

Procedure

Leave the butter to soften either sometime outside of the refrigerator or in the microwave oven. In a big bowl, add the sugar and beat well with the mixer.
Add the egg yolks and beat again.
Add some flour and the rest of the ingredients and mix again.
Take away the mixer and continue to mix by hand adding slowly all the flour or as many until you have a nice soft dough that does not stick to your hands.






 

Time for fun now... gather your kids, your family, friends and start making various cookies according to your imagination...
See for yourself our creations :) 
Put the cookies in the oven trays using baking paper or butter.
Beat with a fork an egg and with a brush add a layer on the cookies.
Bake in the oven at 180 degrees of Celsius and fan. You can put up to 3 trays in the oven and change them levels to bake evenly all over.
Baking time depends on how thick are your cookies. Something like from 10 to 20 min. 

Store in a metallic recipient covered. You can add some Nutella on them, if you are fanatic with it like my kids and not only ;)
Make small packages and offer them to dear ones. Happy Easter!
