I don’t know about you, but personally I am a huge fan of autumn. And this is because I can not resist to the magic that is hidden in the autumn. I am really fascinated by this transition.
The nature gradually adopts a more relaxed pace, and the abundance of summer comes to be replaced by the treasures of autumn. Crispy apples slowly make their appearance, along with juicy pears, bright orange pumpkins, colorful grapes, beautiful quinces and persimmons able to seduce you.
While, the easy and not time consuming snacks are gradually replace by preheated ovens ready to receive mixtures full of cinnamon, cloves and all kinds of spices.
This is how this recipe came out. In order to fulfill my need for seductive scents and the utilization of the wine must, led me to the most fragrant and fluffy Greek grape must cookies. Ideal for your morning coffee, but also for a snack during the day.
Tips for making fluffy Greek grape must cookies
- The cookie dough should relatively stick to our hands. That’s why kneading them into ropes and then round cookies is relatively difficult. Unless you use a pastry bag to give them a round shape.
- As we want a cookie dough that sticks to our hands, we should add the flour gradually. More specifically, we start with 800 gr and if we see that the dough needs more flour, then we add the remaining 50 gr gradually. Be careful though not to make the dough firm dough.
- Personally I prefer the grape must cookies in their soft version. So, during the baking I make sure that they do not turn them too brown, while 5 minutes after I take them out of the oven I add them to a bag which I close. The water vapor from the hot grape must cookies will soften them even more.
