Zubereitung von Sesame Greek Easter Cookies Koulourakia
- Preheat oven to 375-400°F (190-200°C). Grease a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, alternating with ¼ cup fresh orange juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If needed, add a tablespoon or two of additional flour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness.
- Cut the dough into 10-inch long strips. Divide each strip in half and twist two strands together to form a traditional Koulourakia shape.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the twisted cookies with the egg wash.
- Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
