Greek Almond Christmas Cookies

We have been trying somewhat to keep up the Christmas Spirit, but it has been very hard these past few days. With my mom visiting we went into the kitchen and starting making Kourambiedes (Greek Almond Cookies) it would take our minds off of things and just concentrate on cooking. I love cooking and besides this being my passion it has also been a real help to me whenever I was upset or stressed out, and this is one of those times.
I am a huge fan of Vintage pieces and I remembered that my mom had this star dish that was my grandmother’s and is about 100 years old. I find it to be beautiful and this is why I took a photo of this cookie in this dish. Here is another delicious and favorite Greek cookie that is covered in sugar powder, that is always found on every Greek Christmas table.
