+# Greek Easter Cookies
+
+A very simple, delicious, and traditional greek recipe for easter cookies.
+
+- ⏲️ Prep time: 30-45 min
+- 🍳 Cook time: 18-22 min
+- 🍽️ Servings: Five-dozen individual cookies
+
+## Ingredients
+
+- 1 lb of unsalted butter
+- 3 cups of sugar
+- 10 eggs
+- 6 tsps baking powder
+- 2 tsps baker’s ammonium	
+- 1 pinch of baking soda
+- 2 tsp powder vanilla
+- Zest of 3 oranges
+- Zest of 2 lemons
+- 1/2 cup orange juice
+- 1 cup warmed milk
+- 1 egg yolk whisked to brush cookies
+- Enough flour to make a soft pliable dough (about 9 cups or a bit more)
+
+## Directions
+
+1. Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time and blend well between each.
+2. Add ammonium to the warmed milk and add to the butter, sugar, and egg mixture.
+3. Start adding flour to the wet mixture and at this time also add the baking powder, vanilla, lemon/orange zest, salt and orange juice.  
+4. Mix well and start adding flour slowly until you are able to roll the dough easily between your hands. (This is a big batch, if your mixer can’t handle the volume, then knead by hand).
+5. Form dough in a ball and place in a big bowl.  Let it rest for about 30 minutes, cover it with saran wrap and keep in oven or draft free area.
+6. Line pans with parchment paper.
+7. Form dough by hand in ½ inch thick 3 inch long strips and then twist together or any shape you like.  If the dough is sticky dip hands in oil.
+8. Brush with beaten egg yolks and bake at 350F for about 20 minutes or 325F convection.  Watch carefully as they can burn easily!
