Melomakarona – the staple Greek Christmas cookie! This dessert is often served throughout the Christmas period as they have no egg or dairy and are perfect as a treat for those fasting.

The cookie’s name is a fusion of the Greek words “meli” meaning honey, and “makarona” which stems from the word “makaria” meaning blessed.
