''Kourabiedes or Kourabiethes (Greek: κουραμπιέδες) are Greek butter cookies (biscuits) that resemble light and airy shortbread, but are typically made with the addition of almonds. Kourabiedes are sometimes made with brandy, usually Metaxa, for flavouring, though vanilla, mastika or rose water are also popular.
