In reply to Belinda. Very interesting, Belinda. I can't imagine what these cookies might taste like without the spices, but my guess would be the flavor of the nuts and honey would still be amazing. I hope you like my version. Happy Easter!

This recipe is very similar to one I was gifted by my grandmother’s friend. She called them nut rolls and made them at Easter. She didn’t use the spices though and there is a considerable amount of shortening and oil in them. Everything else is the same. I am excited to try this version of the recipe . Thank you

In reply to Connie Ascone. I am so glad that this recipe was able to duplicate the Greek festival cookies, Connie! That's such a compliment. I hope you had an amazing Christmas with your daughter.

Oh, my goodness! Made these cookies on Tuesday to bring to my daughter’s for Christmas tomorrow. I waited patiently to do the “taste test” and it was worth the wait!; They are delicious and taste just like the ones I’ve been buying at the annual Greek festival close to home for years. Thank you so much!

In reply to Karen Templin. Hi Karen! I usually use something like Colavita or California Olive Ranch. A mid- or higher-end grocery store brand. Nothing crazy expensive, but not the cheapest option, either. You can definitely taste the oil in these cookies!

Any particular brand of olive oil used in these cookies? I’d like to try these.

In reply to Bridget. Hi Bridget! I've kept the dough up to 3 days in the fridge with no issue. It may last even longer than that, but I personally have not tried it.

Good morning! I’ve made these before, and the are spot on! My question is, how long will the dough keep in the refrigerator? I’m trying to spread the batch out
