Visit my blog yourstrulyani.com (also linked in bio) for my mom’s Vegan Greek Christmas Cookies—Finikia/Melomakarona (Μελομακάρονα/φοινίκια). 🤍 These cookies hold a special place in my heart, not just because they’re delicious, but because of the story they tell about my family. I grew up listening to Greek music and eating Greek food (both my grandpas grew up in Greece), and I know it might sound a little strange, but it really does feel like a big part of my identity 🥹. Feeling especially grateful to be learning this recipe from my mom and sharing it with all of you. 🇬🇷🇨🇾 Traditionally, these cookies are made with honey, but we use syrup in our family version. :) While it might not be the most *authentic* recipe (Greeks, let me know what you think), it’s the one that’s been passed down in my family, and I can promise you—it’s just as delicious! These cookies are a Christmas tradition, often called “Christmas cookies,” but they’re also perfect for Lent since they’re completely vegan. Whether you’re Greek, Armenian, or just love trying traditional recipes, I hope this one finds its way to your holiday table.
