Greek. These cookies are greek and delicious and super great for serving to a large crowd since they are easier to make then other cookies. Just so you know, I will not be serving these cookies until christmas so I will upload pictures of what they look like all together, how I plated them and such, which should be uploaded on christmas eve day. Look for the post! Anyways, for this recipe you will need...
1/3 cup margarine
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons orange juice
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup ground almonds
2 cubes of unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup sugar
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
Mix together the margarine and sugar until they are both incorporated in one mixture. Add in the nutmeg. Then add in the orange juice, and finally the flour and the ground almond. Roll the dough into moon shapes and place on a tray. They will not expand much so you can fit a good number on each tray. Cook for 12-14 minutes.
While they cook, melt the chocolate in a bowl, that is sitting onto of a pot of boiling water, just so the water is touching the bowl. Mix while it melts and add in the sugar. When you take the cookies out, let them cool first.
Once the cookies are done cooling, dip one side into the chocolate mixture and set on a tray with wax paper to cool. Place the tray in the freezer for 1 hour, and then put the cookies in an air tight container in the freezer until serving them. Remove them from the freezer one hour before serving.
Delish!

P.S. when you serve them, cover the chocolate side with paper or something, then sift some powdered/icing sugar over the other side. ONLY do this right before you serve them, otherwise the sugar will literally smudge and not look nice. I'll post a picture later on!
