Authentic Greek Easter Tradition
These traditional Easter cookies Smyrneika bring a treasured Greek tradition to your table. Greek refugees from Smyrna (modern-day Izmir, Turkey) brought this recipe to Greece. We hand-shape each cookie into braids and twists. Greek families prepare these butter cookies on Holy Thursday for Orthodox Easter celebrations.
