Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
A “kouloura” (koo-LOU-rah) in Greek is a round twist. The name for these traditional butter cookies comes from their round twisted shape but you will also see Koulourakia as small braids or in the shape of the letter “S.”

Koulourakia are delicious dunked in coffee or milk and are the traditional Easter cookie.
