How to Bake Greek Cumin Sticks (Koulourakia me Kimino) Recipe Ingredients:

Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Add the flour, salt, and cheese to a large bowl and whisk gently.

Stir in the egg yoke, ouzo, and water. Keep stirring until a smooth dough forms.

Form the dough into stick shapes similar to breadsticks and place on a baking sheet. Brush the egg white over the cookies and sprinkle with the cumin seeds.
