Kourambiethes Aug 3rd 2011, 10:01 Kourambiethes is a wonderful powder sugar-covered Greek pastry cookie. Prep Time: 25 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes Ingredients: 2 cups unsalted butter 3/4 cup powdered sugar 1 egg yolk 1 jigger of Brandy 4-1/2 cups (apprx.) flour whole cloves (optional) powdered sugar Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and Brandy. Gradually only add enough flour to make a soft dough. Chill. Shape dough into crescents or 1-1/2 inch balls. (If using cloves, place one in each cookie before baking.) Place on ungreased sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes. They won't be brown. Cool for 4 to 5 minutes and then sift powdered sugar over them. Thanks to Lila for contributing her recipe. She says that "for Easter I put them in pastel cupcake papers. You can substitute orange juice for brandy. If there is no brandy around rye whiskey will do."
