How to Make Koulourakia Kanelas Greek Cinnamon Biscuits

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking ammonia, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few minutes until it comes together.
  6. Divide the dough into smaller portions (about the size of a golf ball).
  7. Roll each portion into a long rope (about 12-15 inches long).
  8. Shape the ropes into crescents or your desired shape.
  9. Place the koulourakia onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between them.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let the koulourakia cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy with your favorite coffee or tea!
