“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.
