      By far a great recipe. Don't tell my mother that I'm using this one instead of hers. They are light, and short. They really melt in your mouth. I like them with cloves, which adds some dimension, but it's a pain to remember to tell people to take it out before they eat it, so I wonder if adding a touch of ground clove to the batter would do the trick?

      Evelyn, I am sorry I forgot to review these. I made them for Christmas and they were delightful. I loved the fact that they melted in your mouth. I did make them ahead of time and froze them formed on a lined baking tray. Then I put them in plastic bag in the freezer. I baked from frozen, adding maybe 5 minutes cooking time and they were outstanding.

      Thank you so much for this recipe ! My giagia is sick and had to undergo surgery and she makes them every year and I didn't want them to not be made so I found this recipe and did it today to see if I'd make them for Christmas ... They're amazing ! Just like ones from Greek bakeries. I was looking for other ones online before I found this one, but since none of the bakers were Greek the other recipes weren't at all authentic and were more like Americanized interpretations of the kourambiedes. THESE are the best ! I didn't have brandy on hand and used mastic ouzo from Xios and they still came out really good. Thanks for this recipe <3

      Wonderful melt-in-your-mouth crumbly texture! I made 1/2 the recipe. Didn't have brandy or rose water- still a great cookie. We love 'em. My Greek neighbor said next time I should make them bigger and thicker... She also said that while it's good for the dough to rest for that hour, it's not absolutely necessary. Thanks for a delicious recipe!

      Wow what a great recipe! I've made them twice so far and no complaints. My mom who has her own recipe (which my family thinks is the best) thought my were better then hers! Thanks! :)

      EXCELLENT! These kourambiedes were outstanding! I made just as stated and tasted phenomenal! I used Ouzo (instead of RoseWater)~just prefer it that way. I also got creative and made them in crescent shapes (vs. round). They will compliment my Christmas table! Thanks, Ev!

      Thank you so much for sharing Evelyn. These are one of my very favourite cookies. I have always been a little afraid to try and make them...but even though they were time consuming, these easy to make cookies were certainly worth the time and extra effort. I didn't have any brandy so I substituted golden cream sherry and I drizzeled rose water over the tops of the cookies. They were so delicious I couldn't believe that I had made them...Kudos

      This is actually the best recipe ever. Just replaced brandy with ouzo and added 1/4 tsp of ground cloves for the taste and smell that way you don't need to put the clove on top. Thank you for this great recipe
