After making my amazing Chocolate Kourabiedes now it’s time for these mouth-watering honey cookies. The whole house is filled with aromas of cinnamon, cloves, honey and orange- the fragrances of Christmas!! This recipe is a variation from the renowned Melomakarona recipe. The cookies are called Finikia in Greek (as they used to be called in Asia Minor where they orginated). The main difference is the use of both Semolina AND Flour in the dough, resulting in mellower and softer Honey cookies, in texture and taste. I also experimented with using beer in the cookie dough which makes them crumble in your mouth! To complete their perfect taste, they have a surprising, crunchy heart of nuts and cinnamon! Once you try them, you will never forget their exquisite flavour!!
Suitable for vegetarians and fasting.

Φοινίκια με Μπύρα και Γεμιστά
Φτιάχνει 50-55 κομ.
Αφού έφτιαξα τα εκπληκτικά σοκολατένια κουραμπιεδάκια μου, ήρθε η ώρα για αυτά τα λαχταριστά Φοινίκια. Όλο το σπίτι είναι γεμάτο με αρώματα κανέλας, γαρίφαλου, μελιού και πορτοκαλιού - τα αρώματα των Χριστουγέννων!! Αυτή η συνταγή είναι μια παραλλαγή από τη διάσημη συνταγή για Μελομακάρονα. Ονομάζονται Φοινίκια, όπως λέγονταν στη Μικρά Ασία από όπου προέρχονται. Η βασική διαφορά είναι η χρήση τόσο σιμιγδαλιού όσο ΚΑΙ αλευριού στη ζύμη, με αποτέλεσμα να έχετε μαλακότερα μπισκότα, σε υφή και γεύση. Πειραματίστηκα επίσης με τη χρήση μπύρας στη ζύμη που τα κάνει να θρυμματίζονται υπέροχα στο στόμα σας! Για να ολοκληρωθεί η τέλεια γεύση τους, έχουν μια εκπληκτική, τραγανή καρδιά από ξηρούς καρπούς και κανέλα! Μόλις τα δοκιμάσετε, δεν θα ξεχάσετε την υπέροχη γεύση τους!!
Κατάλληλα για χορτοφάγους και νηστεία.

“Melomakarona” is a Greek word which in a free translation you could say it means “honey macaroons”. However, according to some sources the name comes from the ancient Greek work “makaria” which was a piece of bread offered in certain ceremonies. When you add “meli” (the Greek word for honey) over “makaria”, then you get a melomakarono!
These Greek Christmas cookies are spiced with orange zest, cinnamon and ground cloves and once they’re baked, they get soaked in a honey-based syrup. Traditionally, they’re covered in crashed walnuts but today you can also find them covered in chocolate, so I decided to make them both ways to keep everyone happy.
