    Bulgarian Medenki Cookies are perfect Christmas treat that are easy to make and taste amazing.

    Tray of Bulgarian Medenki Cookies

    For the final day of this week’s marathon under ‘Cook by Capital’, I went back and forth about which country to cook from. I had El Salvador, Singapore and Chile in mind. But I finally chose Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. These Bulgarian Medenki Cookies are easy to make and are cakey and delicious.Tray of chocolate dipped Bulgarian Medenki CookiesI have to give it to Valli for coming up with these interesting and challenging themes every month. I especially love her geography based themes. It has been years since I really paid any attention to geography and I am very rusty with my countries and capitals. So thanks to Valli, this month I’ve learnt 10 country capitals.Tray of Bulgarian Medenki Cookies

    Bulgarian Medenki Cookies:

    Today for the letter S, I chose Sofia - the capital of Bulgaria. It is a country in Southeast Europe. These Bulgarian cookies are made with honey and cinnamon and are perfect for the holiday season. Apparently they are sold individually packaged in supermarkets in Bulgaria. Recipe is from here.

    Easy to make Cookie Recipe:

    I loved that these cookies are made with vegetable oil. So there’s no need for softening butter and they can be made without any pre planning. Just make the dough, roll the cookies, press and bake until done.

    I probably should have pressed the dough a little flatter - because mine turned out cakey but we liked them that way. If you prefer crispy, chewy cookies - then press the dough flat and bake.

    Chocolate dipped Cookies:

    The baked cookies are then dipped in melted chocolate, which makes them look and taste even more amazing. Serve these Bulgarian Medenki Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee and Enjoy!! Here are a few more Christmas cookie recipes.Lets check out what my fellow marathoners have cooked today for BM# 95.

      I have yet to try them, but they are fully baked and waiting for me!
      Before I try them (I'm sure they're delicious), I wanted to tell you that this is a great recipe - very easy, quick, versatile (for example, you can add something to them - I added a white chocolate chip in the centre of each cookie), and they bake up beautifully - not too much spread so all 20 cookies fit on one sheet pan.
      Thanks so much for sharing.

      The cookies have a nice color and texture. Partially dipping in chocolate gives it such an elegant look.
