Greek butter cookies

Kourabiedes (Kουραμπιέδες) cookies are a traditional Greek shortbread-type biscuit, usually made with ground almonds. These Greek butter cookies are typically served at Christmas since they resemble snowballs. The best part about Kourabiedes is the booze. They are soft, buttery and perfectly delicate with a hint of orange and almond.
