Greek Wedding Cookies

Greek wedding cookies also known as kourabiedes are a must have for your
"big fat Greek wedding."

These cookies are very similar to Mexican wedding cookies and are universally popular. For centuries according to tradition, mothers of both the bride and groom would bake these cookies for everyone to enjoy at the wedding reception. Today, they are still commonly given as wedding favors for guests.

These tasty treats can easily be purchased in bulk for your big day or if you are making your own wedding favors, there are several delicious recipes to choose from online. These rich, nutty pastries are rolled in powdered sugar and deliciously crumble in your mouth. The original Greek version usually has finely ground almonds, but you could substitute pecans or walnuts instead. If you are having a cookie table at your wedding reception these traditional cookies would be a great addition.

To create Greek wedding favors, you could take two or three cookies, place them in favor boxes on tissue paper, and tie a ribbon around the box. Make sure boxes, tissue paper and ribbon are all color coordinated to match your wedding. To add a personal touch, have a message printed on the ribbon or attach a note card to your favor boxes. You and your groom can express your appreciation to your guests by making these easy wedding favors. These delectable treats will melt in your guests' mouth.
