    I agree with the other Greek reviewer. Rose water is an essential part of Kourambiedes, as are the almonds to give a nice crunch.

    My Greek family would never use rose water, but I know others would. These cookies are nice and delicate, just like my great-grandmother's. Be sure to make them on the small side - 1" is perfect. They are meant to be a little cookie. My family used the cloves sometimes - I guess they are popular in some regions of Greece and not others.
    These cookies are easy and are always popular with everyone. Thank you, Alex!

    The recipe that Alex Guarneschelli uses is just like my mother's but for one exception. You do NOT use cloves on this traditional christmas cookie. What would truly give this cookie it's authentic flavor is a spritz (sprinkling of rose water on each cookie. If you want a little crunch, you can use toasted, then finely chopped sliced almonds. Great flavor and great texture!
