Kurabiiki

Kurabiiki is a Bulgarian version of the popular Middle Eastern biscuit qurabiya. During the festive holiday season, these sweet cookies made with butter, honey, egg yolks, sugar, and flour are extremely popular in Bulgaria. Before baking, the cookies are typically formed into balls and dipped in coarse sugar. Kurabiiki can be eaten right afterwards or stored in tightly screwed jars and tins for later use, ensuring they stay crisp and fresh for as long as possible.
