I was looking for a recipe for greek wedding cookies. The spelling is
kourabethes (sp). Does anyone have the recipe for these? I will need
the recipe if at all possible by this Thursday evening. Does anyone
have anymore greek dessert recipes? I have a friend who is half greek
and loves to eat sweets. I made the baklava and was in 7th
heaven.Thanks for any help.

The recipe that I asked Sue about in note 3225 reminded me of my recipe
for Kouramedies(?). I'll post the recipe this evening, although I
can't guarantee it's exactly what you are looking for! There's many
recipes in cookbooks for these cookies and they always vary quite a
bit.
The recipe was given to me by a Greek woman who is a fabulous cook.
They use a lot of confectionary sugar and butter. Not diet material at
all. :^)

Kourambiedes
1 pound sweet butter, left out overnight
2 tbsp spry (crisco)
1/4 cup confect. sugar (+ two additional boxes)
6 cup flour
2 egg yolks
1 cup chopped almonds
1/2 shotglass of whiskey
1 tsp baking powder
beat butter and spry in mixer until creamy. add c. sugar, eggs, almonds,
vanilla and as much flour as needed (up to 6 cups). roll. cut out
cookies with cookie cutter. bake 15 minutes @ 450F.
place c. sugar in the bottom of a tray. put cookies on the c. sugar,
then sift more c. sugar over the cookies, leaving overnight.
*** there's more than one version (and maybe spelling :^) of these
cookies available. I've seen them shaped into a small ball with a
clove in the center, but also have tried them when they are rolled out
flat and cut with a cookie cutter, resembling a sugar cookie. perhaps
a reader of Greek origin can help you with your pursuit.
