    Get the exact recipe here:www.dimitrasdi...
    Ingredients
    1 pound (455g) unsalted butter, softened
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup (135g) confectioner's sugar
    2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    2 tablespoons orange blossom water
    170g almonds
    4 and 1/2 cups (625g) all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    3 teaspoons baking powder
    orange blossom water for spraying after baked
    confectioner's sugar for dusting
    Instructions
    Preheat the oven to 350 °F 180 °C. Line 2-3 baking trays with parchment paper.
    Place the almonds into a pan and bake them in the oven for 7-10 minutes until fragrant. Allow the almonds to cool completely and then place them into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Set aside.
    Add the butter, salt, sugar, vanilla, and orange blossom water into the bowl of a stand mixer that has been fitted with the paddle attachment.
    Beat on low speed and then increase the speed to high. Beat until fluffy. About 8-10 minutes.
    Place the flour, baking soda, and baking powder into a large bowl and whisk together.
    Slowly add the flour mixture to the mixer while it is beating on low speed. Add the almonds and beat together until incorporated. Beat together until a dough is formed.
    Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and lightly knead together until incorporated. Many times crumbs and almonds end up at the bottom of the mixing bowl so this step incorporates them back into the dough.
    Form the dough into balls (about 30-40g each) and set on the pans.
    Leave them as balls and gently press the center down with your index finger to form an indentation.
    Alternatively form the cookies into crescents. Roll each round ball of dough into a rope and then bend into a crescent. Place on the baking trays.
    Bake the cookies on the center rack for about 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
    Spray the cookies lightly with orange blossom water as soon as they come out of the oven. This step is optional.
    Once the cookies have slightly cooled, dust them with a generous amount of confectioner's sugar.
    Serve with Greek Coffee. Kali Orexi!
    Leftover's can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

    Looks amazing! I roll out the dough and cut into crescent shape with inverted juice glass. I brought these into work and called them 180° Cookies because whenever someone came into the office that was grumpy, I’d give them a 180° Cookie and their grumpy personality would change 180°! They left happy and smiling!

      I know greeks are always victims and they can't do no wrong even when they steal the patent of our dishes but kourablahblah is actually a turkish word KURABİYE that means ''cookie ''. Kurabiye just like the cookies is the general name it is not only one specific recipe . Sorry I burst the greek baloon and broke their hearts I hope they will not go to strasbourg or to bruxelles to complain because I debunked their greek mythology which might be most of the part persian actually btw . As you can see we have ''turkish guilt '' like your ''white guilt'' but what can we do some people are grossly overrated and the history was written at white house

      Gurabije are Albania cookies traditional recipe we safed for centruies.Greece is knowm for stealing everything and claiming their self as ancient.Damn our nighbours are so dumb.Ilyria and Epirus and Hellens were same people shared same traditon and culture .Dna is proof of this.But they are brainwashed by the muslim ,orthodox faith and both albanian and greeks been fighting for 200 hundred years without no reason.Only bcs of faith Ottomans and Slavs ( Russia ) bring to them.
      We are fully brainwashed by elites .
