Author and cook Maria Benardis, founder of Greekalicious, shares her Aunt Stavoula’s recipe for honey cookies with walnuts.Melomakarona is a traditional Greek cookie that is soaked in a syrup of diluted honey, and sprinkled with crushed walnuts. The Greek name for them translates to "honey macaroons", however, they are nothing like the traditional macaroon.
These are traditionally made during the Christmas and New Year period. The trick is to make them soft but not soggy, light but not falling apart.
