metrilakia
Metrilakia refers to a family of small, often sweet, cookies or biscuits originating from Greece. The name itself is derived from the Greek word "metrio" meaning "moderate" or "measured," suggesting their small, bite-sized nature. These cookies are typically made with simple ingredients such as flour, sugar, oil or butter, and often flavored with ingredients like cinnamon, cloves, lemon zest, or orange zest. Some variations might include nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, or dried fruits.
The texture of metrilakia can vary, with some being crisp and crunchy while others are softer and
