Makes about 80 cookies:
1 pound unsalted butter at room temperature
1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
zest of 2 large lemons
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 and 1/2 -7 cups all purpose flour
egg wash: 4 egg yolks plus 4 tablespoons water
In a tabletop mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.
Beat the eggs and yolks with the sugar mixture until fluffy.
Add the heavy whipping cream and beat well.
Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Zest the lemons over the flour mixture and mix to combine.
Add the flour mixture in a few batches while the mixer is beating all of the ingredients on a low speed.
Beat until well combined. Check the dough and add 1/2 cup more all purpose flour if needed to form dough that is not very sticky and so that it is easy to work with.
Set aside and cover with a clean towel.
Allow the dough to rest at room temperature at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, 204 degrees Celsius.
Form the dough into walnut, or golf ball sized rounds.
Roll each round out into about 8 inch cylinders.
Fold in half and twist until a braid forms.
Place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Continue until all of the cookies are formed.
To make the egg wash, combine the egg yolks with water and whisk well until smooth.
Brush the egg wash over each cookie.
Bake 20-30 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown. Rotate trays (place the bottom tray on the top rack and the top tray on the bottom for even baking) halfway through baking.
Allow the cookies to cool completely.
Store them in an airtight container.
Serve with tea or coffee.
Enjoy!

About 20 years ago, I found myself unexpectedly between apartments (too long a story). I was introduced to an elderly Greek lady who rented rooms in her home. Mrs. Lecomentros had her baking day every two weeks come hell or high water. NOTHING interfered with that ever. On those days I'd come home from work to the scent of fresh baking and a plate of these cookies (wreath shaped and topped with sesame seeds) on the dresser in my room. Needless to say, I began to miss her and those delicious cookies the very day I moved into my new place. So grateful to finally have this recipe at last!
Yes covered with sasame seeds my fav..
Dimitra, I am Greek and I have a business in baking. I don't know how I came across, but you really give very good instructions. As the generation of the elder women who used to bake is disappearing, we can't find hardly anyone in the family who can bake. So, I am making diples for a wedding.
My favorite cookie in the world! and you've told me so clearly how to make them. Thank you. Love your instruction.
My longest friend is Greek-American. Her parents were from Greece. I loved them so much. Her Mom, Koula, always had the most amazing (family secret) Greek cookies ready for me whenever I came by. I miss Koula and Nicko so much and have been dying for a recipe for her delicious cookies. Thank you for sharing. I’m definitely going to try your recipe! Thank you for sharing!
My mom used to make these for holidays! Oh how I miss them and my mom. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
They were so yummy, Made so many cookies, shared with my neighbour and brothers. Made exactly as per recipe except I switched out orange for lemon zest, because that is how my mom made them. Thank you!
OMG! This is a must do for me, I love anything lemon and lots of butter. Thank you❤️
Made these last year and they were really good. Came back this year to make them again for our Pascha. This time round I added quarter cup of freshly squeezed orange juice. Oh my goodness! They tasted like my mom’s, eternal be her memory! Thank you for the recipe…. I’ve been trying to get my koulouria just right. These are really really good 👍. Bravo!
Glad you like them!
TFS
Will be making these with my grandson
LOVE&PREYS THIS EASTER TIME 🙏🙏
STAY SAFE 😷🙏🙏
Love Light & Angel Blessings from Across The pond 🇬🇧
Hey Dimitra excellent recipe I have been making these for such a long time but I like to add the addition of anise seeds or extract. Try it sometime it gives it a Mediterranean flair to the cookie
Your koulouria are lovely. I make them every year for paska. My favourite part in making them is how my kids big and small all get involved with the shaping. We all sit around laughing and joking and I thank god for these moments as I know they won't last forever. That's what koulouria mean to me. Happy Easter to you and you family, thanks for sharing your recipes. X
The bes tKoulourakia recipe I ever made and I ever had delicious!!! thank you!!!
Thank you for show the complete process.. I had the recipe and I had been helping in my church for years but every time I try in my own I never get good results.. today I saw your video and I deduced to try it and I got a great result..
now i understood that my problema was that I was whipping the egged before to add them to the sugar and butter..
thank you very much!!
Made these tonight and they came out delicious! Thanks for the easy instructions.
Always love following your recipes, easy and clear and very scrumptious. Thank you
I made these for Orthodox Easter. Though they were only butter flavored-still good but not lemony. I forgot to actually add the lemon juice whoops! (because I saw in the written part of this recipe to just use the zest and add it to the flour). No worries! Now I’ll have to make another batch, 😋 I also ended up making slightly orange flavored ones-tasty, too! Thank you!
Made mine last night. Thank you for the recipe

I made these for Christmas and they were perfection. My sister still talks about them.
I love these cookies.
I love these cookies! Not too sweet and always perfect. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I like them without the lemon flavor ... they are just right any time of the year! Blessings.

Make these about once a year, not with lemons or cream, with orange juice if i have oranges in the house, otherwise just plain, but are still tasty!
Handsome and respectful son!
Thank you so much- plan to keep tradition at Easter 🐣
They look delicious! That is a big batch recipe, which I see NO problem with it! Thank you again for sharing. Do you have a recipe for tiramisu gelato? I tried it once, but I wouldn't know how to recreate that flavor in a gelato or ice cream. Thanks again!!
Thank you for sharing your recipes god bless you 🌺❤️🌼🙏🌹💕
Always ready to taste new dishes! Yummy, yum! Doing the air fryer way.
Waving to you from south Georgia-land of best Peaches, boiled Peanuts, & Vidalia onions!

Thank you so much for the recipe. Can you please, please post a recipe for a smaller bunch? 80 is a bit too much for my small household lol. Thank you!!!!
Terrific recipe. ❤️
Delicious

Thank you my favorite CZcamsr!
Hello, Dimitta. Thanks for all your delicious recipes. Are you Greek? Your English is perfect !
Recently (last weekend) I had an opportunity to go to a Greek Festival ... I am totally in love with your pastries and food and of course the culture. As an Italian, I do a lot of baking but these cookies are so yummy and my family is addicted to them and wants me to make some. I love soft/chewy cookies. I am not much with sweets; however, I am loving these cookies. Thank you for your video. Would you be able to give me some advice on how I am making them a little chewy for me to enjoy also? Thank you very much!
These are not very chewy but if you undertake them just a little bit they will be softer. You can play with a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar and see if that makes them a bit chewy.
Well my koulourakia were mushie. I have to add a little flour and work a piece at the time. I don’t see 80-100 cookies. My next batch this weekend will be 7 cups of flour instead of 6 1/2 and different butter.
I love this kind of biscuits
I just want to know is that salty or sweet?
Looks so delicate and yummy
Sweet
When you live in Costa Rica, nothing is "cheap" here and that includes anything from Amazon!!
Only for the beaches & weather?
If I divided the recipe in half would it still come out as good :)
Yes :)
Dimitra's Dishes Thank you ☺️ I’m looking forward to making them. I have been watching many of your delicious videos and saving then to try.
Thank you, Dimitra! What are your thoughts on using orange instead?
Great recipe but at which point do we add the lemon juice? It doesn’t say in the printed recipe either. Thank you and Καλό Πάσχα 💐
She used the zest of the lemon, no lemon juice. The zest was added to the flour before mixing.
At least I didn’t see her add lemon juice. If it is to be added I’d think it would be added to the wet ingredients prior to adding flour. She mentioned the zest is more flavorful than the juice.
Would you be able to post measurements for less cookies? 😊😊
Great instructions! I do not have a stand mixer. Can you provide directions for making the cookies without a stand mixer? Also, how would you make anise cookies? Remove the lemon? Or vanilla? Thank you
The recipe only show the ingredients
Not the measurements of the flour ,sugar ect
Amazing
Hi, could i know the weight of butter in grams ,please? And also of the sugar and flour? Because don t understand puond or libbra
I wonder if I could use a food processor instead of a stand mixer.
I need the Measurements please and thank you
Can I cut your ingredients in half because I don’t want to make 80 cookies. Can I also store the unbaked dough in the refrigerator until I need it. Please let me know. I try out some of your recipes and they came out great. Thanks
Yes, of course!! The dough can be frozen too! Wrap it tightly in plastic and freeze up to a month. Thaw and make more cookies. Enjoy!! 🙂
I use Amazon bot not to match because I like to go store and look then by I like to deal with people I enjoy shopping from stores 🤷🏻♀️
Can you do a video on triopitas?! I want to make them for my Greek bf and his family since they lost their father this year :(
Is there a substitute for whipping cream?
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DIMITRA'S GREEK BUTTER COOKIES AMAZING SON💯♥️🖤💚 BROWN FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME 🦋 WOW BEAUTIFUL.
I don't have an electric mixer - too expensive for me right now. Will these work with a hand mixer?
Is there anyone else that can not print this recipe no matter what they try?? I don’t know if it is embedded with so many video ads ect that it just can not print. I guess I will find a printable somewhere else. 😢
Hi Dimitra mou! Can I add mahlepi kai mastic as well? How much should I put?
Any recipes about moustokouloura.
What is the measurement for the flour,creme and sugar?
I only have the 6 wire whip attachment for my stand mixer will that do?? Thank You! Btw love your content and your recipes have turned out great for me!
Yes, you can use that then, switch to a spatula and finally you can knead it with your hands just like our grandmas did 😊
Yummmmmy
If I don't have ammonium bicarbonate should I use baking powder or baking soda?
Yes, add baking powder
❤❤❤😊😊🎉🎉love you videos
Hi Dimitra, can I place an order for a box full please 😁
Why do they get hard after cooling
Where can I find the recipe please?
Why do you changed the bowl ?
Really nice recipe Dimitra..I just sub’d👍
Thank you so much 🙂 and Welcome to our community :)
What can I substitute for the heavy whipping cream?
milk will work :)
@@DimitrasDishes thanks! I used lactose free milk...it seems to be working ok. It's taking longer to cook tho...
Is there a way to make these cookies with honey instead of sugar? And I was curious to know if you have cooked with herbal teas like thyme or hyssop?
How do I find written recipes of your cookies
They're all on www.dimitrasdishes.com
MY DOUGH TURNED INTO SLIME. i HAD GOTTEN THE RECIPE OFF OF PINTERESS. i added more flour to try and dry the slime out to no aval
where do you think we could find mastika and mahleb?
Amazon or any local Mediterranean/middle eastern market will have both of them 😊
I failed at making mine
Dimitra what happened to you I don’t see your recipes anymore ☹️
I post 3-5 every week. I’m not sure why CZcams isn’t showing them... 😫 must be the new algorithm... however, you can see all of them under the videos tab on my channel :)
Dimitra's Dishes thank you happy new year ❤️
Fuck yeah these are sick as bro
My dough sticks little bit should use flour
Olive oil or vegetable oil on your hands and on the board are better :)
