Melomakarona – Greek Honey-Spice Cookies

Fragrant with cinnamon, clove, and orange zest, these tender Greek cookies are a celebration of warmth and heritage. Baked to a delicate crisp and soaked in an aromatic honey syrup while still warm, melomakarona are a cherished holiday sweet throughout Greece — symbolizing abundance, joy, and shared tradition.

Every cookie is finished with a touch of crushed walnuts and a drizzle of syrup, letting the flavors deepen with time. Each bite is rich, spiced, and gently sweet — a little golden taste of the Mediterranean.
