Cretan Christmas Cookies

This holiday season we have had plenty of opportunities to sample these two varieties of traditional Greek Christmas cookies.

Our Greek is still shaky, so we don't know the names of them, but one is roundish, a little dry, with nuts on the inside, and sugar on the outside; the other is oblong, moist, with honey on the inside, and nuts on the outside; and both are νόστιμο! (tasty!) Just right with coffee while listening to the monks chant on the radio.
