Cómo preparar Koulourakia Greek Sesame Twist Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease baking sheet(s).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) salted butter, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1 tablespoon orange zest using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal-sized balls.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll one dough ball into a 15-inch long rope.
- Fold the rope in half lengthwise.
- Twist the folded rope 4-5 times.
- Gently curve the twisted rope into your desired shape (e.g., candy cane).
- Place shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the cookies with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until light golden brown.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container.
