Greek Egg Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Greek Egg Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing two cookie sheets to prepare for your delightful creations.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, blend together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, setting the stage for a perfect dough.

3. Step 3

   In a larger bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened butter until it’s light and fluffy, then gradually add sugar, continuing to mix on medium speed for about 10 minutes until the mixture is airy and inviting.

4. Step 4

   Next, introduce four eggs, adding them one at a time and ensuring each is well incorporated before moving on.

5. Step 5

   Don’t forget to mix in the fragrant vanilla extract for that extra touch of flavor.

6. Step 6

   Slowly fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture until a soft, cohesive dough forms; if it feels too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour until it’s manageable.

7. Step 7

   On a floured surface, take small lumps of dough, about 1 inch in size, and roll them into ropes roughly 1/4 inch thick and 7 inches long.

8. Step 8

   Create a beautiful braid by crossing the ends and twisting the dough.

9. Step 9

   Place your braided biscuits on the prepared cookie sheets, leaving about an inch of space between each.

10. Step 10

    In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg and brush it over the braids for a shiny finish, then sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added crunch.

11. Step 11

    Bake these golden delights in your preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they achieve a lovely golden brown hue.

12. Step 12

    Once baked, let them cool on the sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy the delightful aroma and the satisfaction of your homemade braided biscuits!.
