I'm not a big fan of anise, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cookies were still delicious.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg yolks.

These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The orange zest and vanilla extract give them a really nice flavor.

I've been making koulourakia for years and this recipe is by far the best! The cookies are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with the perfect amount of sweetness. I love that they're also easy to make, and I always get compliments on them
