Greek Olive Oil white Christmas Cookies Kourambiedes: all you need to know is that when it comes to Christmas cookies in Greece, there are two types, the white icing-topped crunchy cookies and, the honey-topped, filled moist cookies, melomakarona.

It may seem awkward but there are endless Christmas day conversations with each group defending their own favorite cookie; why not try both and see which your family prefers?
