Ingredients

2 cups All-purpose flour
1 cup Granulated sugar
1/2 cup Unsalted butter
2 Eggs
1 cup Walnuts
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Cloves

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together unsalted butter and eggs until smooth.
Add the walnuts to the butter mixture and whisk until combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
While the melomakarona are baking, prepare the syrup by combining 1 cup of honey and 1 cup of water in a saucepan and bringing to a boil.
Remove the melomakarona from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to the syrup and letting soak for 10-15 minutes.
Remove the melomakarona from the syrup and place on a wire rack to cool completely, sprinkling with cloves before serving.
