GREEK ALMOND SHORTBREAD (KOURABIE)
Mary, a friends Greek neighbour, took the time to show us this recipe. It is a family recipe from her area of Greece. The actual dough has very little sugar as they are dusted heavily in icing sugar once cooked. These are very crunchy and has peices of almonds through out them. The shape is entirely upto the cook, just make sure they are not too large as they will burn on the outside and not cooked on the inside. The dough for each biscuit (cookie) should be the size of a large cherry.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 180oc (375 oF).
- In a large bowl beat the butter, oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla until thick and glossy. It will take about 5 - 7 minutes.
- Add in the flour and almonds. Start with a large wooden spoon and progress to clean hands until all is well mixed. The mixture will be quite dry.
- Roll peices of dough the size of a large cherry and flatten, or roll into a sausage and flatten slightly - or what ever suits your fancy.
- Place onto a lined tray, repeat until all the mixture is used (you should get 50 - 60 biscuits).
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 - 30 minutes depending on how you roll and flatten your biscuits. They should be nicely golden all over.
- Once out of the oven, liberally sift extra icing sugar over hot biscuit and leave to cool.
- Store in an air tight container with plenty of icing sugar.
- They will keep for up to 2 weeks in a dry and dark area.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the beaten egg and extract. Add the flour, ground almonds and lemon zest and mix until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead into a ball. Divide the dough in half and then roll each half into a log, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour (the dough can be frozen at this point for a later use).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the plastic wrap and slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets and bake until golden brown at the edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 3 or 4 minutes before transferring to wire cooling racks to cool completely, or just eat warm from the oven.
