RECIPES FROM THE RETRO HOUSEWIFE

DESSERT

KURABIEDES (Butter Cookies), Greek

Ingredients

• 1 lb. sweet butter
• 1 jigger brandy
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 1 lb. flour (more or less, according to the amount the dough requires)
• ½ cup peeled almonds, coarsely ground
• Vanilla
• 1 lb. box powdered sugar

Preparation Instructions

Melt butter over very low heat. Take a piece of cheese cloth and fold into two folds. Strain butter through this into a bowl. Beat thoroughly until creamy white. Add brandy sugar, almonds, vanilla and mix. Add flour -- as much as required for dough to be formed. Knead. Roll into crescent pieces or any other shape desired and put in baking sheet. Bake in a slow oven (300°). Do not let them turn brown. Cookies should be an off-white color when done.

When cool, roll in powdered sugar and sprinkle generously with sugar after putting on a platter.
