Melomakarono

Melomakarono is a special type of cookie that is made in Greece, especially during the holiday season. It is a round cookie that is typically made with flour, sugar, olive oil, honey, orange juice, cinnamon, and cloves.

To make melomakarono, you first mix all the ingredients together to make a dough. Then, you shape the dough into small balls and flatten them down slightly. Next, you bake the cookies in an oven until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Once the cookies are done baking, you take them out of the oven and let them cool down. After they have cooled, you soak them in a honey syrup that is made with water, sugar, honey, and lemon juice. This makes the cookies moist and sweet, and gives them a sticky texture.

Finally, you sprinkle some crushed walnuts on top of the cookies to add some extra flavor and crunch. You can serve melomakarono as a dessert or snack, and they are typically enjoyed during Christmas time in Greece.
