Koulourakia (Greek Easter Cookies)

🌟 Difficulty⏱️ Time🍽️ ServesπŸ”ͺ Skill level
★★ Easy~1 hr~60–80Beginner–Intermediate
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 :))))
