Traditional Greek Easter butter cookies, known as koulourakia, are irresistibly sweet and flavorful.

Ingredients:

200g butter, chopped, at room temperature
215.00 gm caster sugar
20.00 ml orange zest
20.00 ml lemon zest
4.40 gm vanilla extract
3 egg yolks
562.50 ml plain flour
37.50 gm self-raising flour
Sesame seeds (or sugar), to sprinkle

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 180C (160C for fan-forced ovens) and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
Place butter and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix in vanilla and zest, then add egg yolks and beat until well combined.
Combine the milk and sifted flours, then bring the mixture together on a lightly floured surface.
Shape the mixture into a 20cm log, then twist it into your preferred scroll shapes and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Place onto baking trays and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until beautifully golden. Allow to cool completely on the trays before transferring to an airtight container for storage.
