In a pot add all the ingredients for the syrup, besides the honey and bring to the boil. Boil for 3-4 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and remove from the stove. Stir in the honey and set aside to cool completely.
2. Prepare the dough for the melomakarona. In a bowl add the semolina, flour and baking powder and mix with a whisk to combine.
3. In another large bowl add the orange juice, the cognac, the sugar and spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, vanilla) and mix. Add the baking soda and whisk immediately for 5-10 seconds until the ingredients combine and the baking soda dissolves and starts to foam. Pour in the bowl the water, the oil, the orange zest and honey and whisk to combine.
4. Now it’s time to combine the two mixtures. Add the mixed flour, semolina and baking powder (from step 2) in the bowl with the rest of the ingredients from step 3 and start kneading the dough for the melomakarona.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a finikia and a honey syrup cookie?

According to wikipedia, finikia are slightly different, stating the cookie isn't dipped in a honey-syrup is instead rolled in a mixture of walnuts and spices, which may be true in some areas! This was not the case in my experience.

What are greek honey cookies made of?

The cookie is made with olive oil, orange juice, crushed walnuts (or your favorite nuts), honey, and just a touch of warm spices like cinnamon and clove. Then, the cake is dipped in a completely wonderful sticky honey syrup. My Greek honey cookies are so perfect for sharing with family and friends for the holidays.

How do you cook finikia?

While finikia are baking, combine all syrup ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium low heat for approx. 10 minutes stirring occasionally to incorporate. Taste as it’s cooking to see if you prefer a bit more honey/agave or a bit more orange juice.

How do you make melomakarona cookies?

Melomakarona (also known as Finikia in some Greek regions) are a traditional and delicious holiday staple. These soft cookies are flavored with orange and warm spices, then soaked in a honey syrup before topping with crushed walnuts. Add the sugar, honey, water, lemon rind, lemon juice, cloves, and cinnamon stick to a medium saucepan.
