Creativity isn't just about artwork. Today it's about cookies. For the Greeks, koulourakia is a traditional Easter cookie. But being half Russian and half German, I make them all year round. Especially at Christmas time. Very yummy butter cookies with sesame seeds. Not too sweet, and with a teaspoon of ground Mastiha, or Mastic from Chios. It takes a while to grind the resin into a smooth, white powder, but it's worth the effort, and it smells wonderful!
