Melomakarona are a traditional Greek citrus-spice cookie made moist and flavorful by lightly soaking in a honey syrup, then sprinkled in ground nuts. Known as Finikia in some regions of Greece, where they deep fry them. 2 tablespoons Metaxa (a Greek spirit), cognac, whiskey, or Ouzo (another Greek spirit), which will impart a slight anise flavor
Walnuts add texture and a welcomed nutty flavor that is essential in a good melomakarona recipe. You'll need a medium saucepan. Combine 1 ½ cup of water with 1 cup sugar, 1 zested orange (cut in half), and 1 cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil until the sugar dissovles (about 5 minutes or so over medium-high heat).
For the traditional melomakarona recipe (Greek Christmas honey cookies), we sprinkle the melomakarona with chopped walnuts and just a pinch of cinnamon and clove. This is delicious Greek Christmas classic recipe with a little twist, that uses chocolate to cover them (and optionally toasted almond slivers).
So adding some semolina to the melomakarona mixture will ensure that the dough is more absorbent and will soak up and retain a lot more of the honey syrup. This will make your melomakarona deliciously soft on the inside while also slightly crunchy on the outside!
