Kolakakor, directly translated for caramel cookies, is a proper childhood classic for me. They’ve a chewy middle and crispy edges and exterior, and a delicious mouth watering flavour of caramel and butter. My grandmother used to always make a biiig batch of kolakakor every time one of me and my siblings had a birthday. I remember how it was one of the high lights and something you looked forward to just as much as the gifts with toys.
Hopefully, you can taste some of those feelings and similar memories like I do when trying these. Enjoy!
