Kourabiedes are Greek biscuits typical of the Christmas period, buttery, crunchy to the bite with a rich almond flavor and a delicate scent of rose water. A dear friend of Greek origin gave me this family recipe and since then, when I am lucky enough to find myself in splendid Greece, I look for them to taste them, but when I feel like it I prepare them at home. Discover this simple and delicious recipe with me.

Ingredients for

  • 250 g of cold butter
  • 150 g of almonds coarsely chopped from toasted almonds
  • 50 g of whole almonds
  • 75 g of icing sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rose water (if you can’t find orange blossom water)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 400 g of all-purpose flour
  • icing sugar for dusting

Method:

1.Preheat the oven at 200°C. To prepare this kourabiedes (kourambiethes) recipe, start toasting the almonds. Arrange the coarsely chopped almonds (150 g) and sprinkle them with a little water. Cook them for 7-8 minutes, until golden brown, being careful not to burn them. Set aside or refrigerate cool down. In a blender, add the raw almonds (50 g) or if desired, pistachios are also fine and blend until you obtain a powder. Set aside.

2.In a food processor, add the cold butter and sugar; mix for about 10 seconds, until the butter “breaks” and melts completely. Add the ground almonds, a pinch of salt, rose water and vanilla extract; mix for 10-20 seconds, until a smooth mixture is obtained. At the end add the yeast and flour and mix again for 10-15 seconds.

3.Place the mixture in a large bowl and add the toasted almonds; blend lightly with your hands. In order for the kourabiedes to remain soft, it is important that the butter does not heat up or melt. Then wait a bit for the toasted almonds to cool before adding them to the butter mixture. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Line the bottom of 2 baking trays with baking paper and form the kourabiedes. Form a ball with 1 tablespoon (about 30 g) of dough, place it on the baking tray and press with your finger in the center to form a small dimple. Continue with the rest of the dough. Place in the fridge for 5 minutes until you prepare your next pan.

4.Preheat the oven to 170°C. Line the bottom of 2 baking trays with baking paper and form the kourabiedes.

Place in the fridge for 5 minutes until you prepare your next pan.

5.Arrange the trays with the kourabiedes on the second and fourth racks of the oven. Cook for approx. 15-20 minutes, until they have one light golden hue and they will be completely cooked. Be careful not to overcook them. Leave the kourabiedes to cool a little. If you try to lift them while they are still hot, they will break! Spray the kourabiedes with rose water and sift them with icing sugar. And here are your Greek Kourabiedes biscuits ready, Bon appetit and merry Christmas!
