How to Make Honey Shortbread Greece
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two large baking sheets.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup brandy, ¼ cup orange juice, and the zest of 1 orange.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Shape the dough into ovals, approximately 3 inches long. Place them well apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets.
- **For the Honey Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup honey, ¼ cup water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Boil rapidly for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Once the shortbread is completely cool, dip each cookie into the honey syrup. Sprinkle with ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Let the syrup set slightly before serving.
