This kourabiedes recipe makes crescent-shaped Greek butter cookies.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup finely chopped blanched almonds
- 36 whole cloves
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Sift flour and baking powder together into a bowl.
Step 2
Cream butter in a mixing bowl. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Add egg yolk, brandy, and vanilla; beat until very light. Stir in almonds.
Step 3
Gradually blend in flour mixture until a soft, smooth dough forms. Cover and chill until dough can easily be handled, about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C).
Step 5
Shape level tablespoonfuls of chilled dough into crescents and place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Insert a whole clove into the center of each crescent.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 25 to 30 minutes, switching racks halfway through; do not brown.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheets.
Step 8
Dust generously with confectioners' sugar.
