Easter Koulourakia | Greek Easter Cookies Recipe

[@infinitelyblessed359]

God rest your soul Ken. I am heart broken that the world has lost such as wonderful person. My condolences to Evgenia and the rest of his family. :( I will forever continue to make his recipes because he was a great cook!

[@MaineGalVal]

I remember rolling these out beside my yia yia when I was a young girl. We'd make soooo many cookies for all of the family members to take a nice big container of them home. I haven't had any in years, and now I'm inspired to try my hand at them this year. Thank you!

[@infinitelyblessed359]

Ken, I made these for the Sunday Greek church coffee hour last week and everyone went crazy over them! Your recipe got so many compliments from the Greek Ladies and that says a lot for this recipe ;)

The kitchen aide mix master is my 3rd arm. Would not can not bake without it. I love it when something other then me puts the beating process at ease. This kitchen appliance does a far better job.then I could.lol

[@bessiegeanakoplos1127]

I've never mixed the orange juice with the baking powder... brilliant! I have to try a practice batch before Easter. Thank you for a great tutorial and have an amazing week!

[@KensGreekTable]

Thank you so much Bessie!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Same to you....

[@elainehaase1068]

I get such a kick out if you! I closed my eyes for a minute as you smelled that cooky, and I was transported back to my YiaYia's kitchen at Easter time. A tear sneaked down my cheek as I reminisced. Ken, thank you.

[@KensGreekTable]

Thank YOU Elaine!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 That’s one of the nicest things you could say:-))

[@iya3757]

Thank you for the recipe & instructions & tips. I tried it & it came out nice. The only ingredient difference was no shortening (just replaced it with the butter I was using). My orange juice & baking powder didn't fizz quite as much as yours. I let the dough rest for 45 minutes, in a bowl covered with cling wrap. It was easy to handle & roll after that, no vegetable oil needed.

[@ladyloneill]

I really enjoyed your instruction and watching you bake. Thank you. These are my absolute favorite cookie. I'm no longer near a Greek bakery; so, bake I must. I'm looking forward to making this unique recipe. I hope mine are as good as your's. I could have eaten one whole tray.

[@KensGreekTable]

[@peterkolovos3079]

I see you don't add Baker's Ammonia? My Grandmother did and it added an excellent flavor to her Kouloria.

[@KensGreekTable]

I know exactly what you mean Pete...

[@LA-el3vh]

Thank u Ken. Kali anastasi

[@KensGreekTable]

Thank YOU!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@angelalaraia3846]

THANK-YOU for the recipe i will make them have a great Easter i just need to ask you a question do you have to use the shortened can you use vegetables oil because in a Australia it is hard to find

[@KensGreekTable]

Thank you for your comment and question. You can just add the equivalent of butter instead of shortening. Veg oil would alter the texture a bit too much. Good luck and let me know how they turn out:-)) Cheers, Ken🇨🇦

[@stratisconstas1315]

Great Video - I started to look at your other videos.I liked the tip on vegetable oil for the dough. I get a bit frustrated when the dough gets sticky. Will try that in the future. I am wondering could this be converted keto friendly cookies? I am thinking of swapping out flour with almond with psyllium husk and sugars with Erythritol. Do you think that will change the flavor too much from the traditional cookies?

[@KensGreekTable]

Hey Strati, Thank you for your comment! You can substitute the flour and sugar. Should work ok. I’m currently testing kourabiedes recipes with coconut flour and stevia. Standby for the result LOL Good luck and let me know how it turns out for you... Cheers, Ken🇨🇦

[@stratisconstas1315]

@@KensGreekTable thanks. Will do.

[@fousies]

May your memory be eternal!🙏

[@sheriegogos4584]

If I use butter instead of shortening, how much butter?

[@jimkontos2595]

Baking and science project combined

[@KensGreekTable]

Haha 👍👍👍

[@virginiahoward2404]

No shortening available. Replacement?

[@KensGreekTable]

Not a problem. Simply replace with either butter or margarine....

[@ΧαρίκλειαΓεωργούλη]

😋😛🤯🥨🥨🥨🥨🥨🥨🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🔟🇬🇷👌👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@LA-el3vh]

What happens if my dough is too soft? I tried water oil. Help please

[@KensGreekTable]

Hi Lupita, Thank you for your question and please just take a deep breath:-)) What you need to do is just keep adding flour gradually in 1/2 cup amounts. That should solve your issue. Thanks again and let me know how they turn out.... Cheers, Ken🇨🇦

[@winstonblue64]

Ken put a towel over your mixer so the flour dose not fly all over.

[@iskuialexanyan9792]

Everything looked good except the shortening part, I will never use shortening in my baking

[@0412dodo]

I tried to make them and i failed

[@KensGreekTable]

Oh no, what happened???

[@0412dodo]

Well i followed my aunts recipe and i failled idk maybe i didnt kneed it enough it was very hard dough

[@catherine8873]

I am a Christian. Got me through a lot.

[@annabruzzese7300]

HOW MUCH FLOUR PLEASE?

[@KensGreekTable]

Thank you for your question. The recipe calls for about 5-6 cups but it may take a bit more or less....

[@patriotgirl3784]

Ummm🤔 HOW MUCH FLOUR!?

[@patriotgirl3784]

Oh I found it!👍☺️

[@sharonsolana]

Lots of great tips! Thank you! 🇬🇷🤍🇬🇷🤍🇬🇷 Have you ever made this recipe with only butter? If so, how did the cookies turn out?

[@jimkontos2595]

Christos anesti

[@KensGreekTable]

A bit early champ but thank you....

[@riasomers642]

It's a butter cookie not a shirtening & butter cookie. Yuch.

[@sharonsolana]

No need to be rude. Just use butter.
