This is a great recipe however I do like a crispier cookie. What can I change/add to make it crispier?
Thank you!

Just about to make this recipe but your measurement conversions don’t make sense. 150 grams of semolina flour is just under a cup, not a half a cup. I checked several sources, and they all vary somewhat from just below a cup to a cup. When I measured my semolina on my scale it came to just under a cup, so you are definitley off with the 1/2 cup conversion. I will go by texture more than exact flour amounts and hope for the best. But consider rechecking your conversions. thanks

In reply to Maria Dimitraklas. Merry Christmas I made these for the second year in a row and no it wasn't a fluke. They are the best melomakarona ever. Even my mom, who used to make them, loves them. 1 2x the recipe. Yummm. The dough was perfect. I measured using cups and it worked out great. Put a little less sugar in the syrup.

In reply to Andreas. Thank you for this recipe I made it and followed it to a T and the tradional melomakarona came out perfectly just like my yaiyai used to make. It made my family very happy and nostalgic thank you.

This is my second year making this particular recipe and the cookies come out amazing. My only thing is I don’t need 8 cups and a little more liquid like some more orange juice would be perfect. They came out fluffy moist in the middle and nice and crunchy on the outside before adding the syrup so good.

Can I make the cookies first and soak in syrup at a later date? In other words, how do I soak cold cookies in cold syrup
