For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of ground cloves or cinnamon to the dough. If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before shaping. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. These cookies are best enjoyed with a cup of strong Greek coffee or a glass of sweet dessert wine.
