The Best Cookies in the World?

So, I'm sat in my Ancient Rome lecture drinking an amazing 'Mococoa' from Zarraffas... Its just like a hot chocolate but it has caramel in it... And crushed malt biscuits and cream on top. :)
This is making me want to tell you guys about one of my memories from Greece... It'll make sense soon. Trust me. :)

So, I know I've already told you guys all about 'Spagbol Island' but I have another prevalent memory from my holiday in Greece...

A bakery.

You're probably thinking, what? Really? You were in GREECE and one of your favorite memories is a BAKERY!? But, this was no ordinary bakery... It was ahhhh-mazing!

I can't remember how we discovered the bakery, because it was a fair walk from our hotel, but every morning we would get up at 5am (or some similar ungodly hour) just to go get some of the cookies that this bakery sold. It was the only time we could get them, because they were so amazing that they sold out ridiculously fast.

So, every morning, my mum, dad, little brother and I would make the trek down to the bakery.
It was a traditional Greek old style bakery. I don't remember exactly what the building looked like, but I remember it was really old and made of uneven stones. The people that ran the shop were Greek and only spoke broken (and terrible) English, but they loved our English accents. ;)

We bought a pack of assorted Greek cookies every time - never anything different. I remember that they were all cool shapes- my brother and I used to try and dismantle them before we ate them.
There were plaits, rings, knots and just normal cookie shapes, and I remember one day there was a heart shaped one too. They were all glossy and shiny and... Ahhh I would do anything to get another one of those cookies!

Since that holiday I have never ever tasted anything quite as good as those cookies... The only tastes that I have found to be close are Chai Lattes or these tiny little Gingerbread Men that they sometimes have in the speciality sections at supermarkets.

I would literally go back to Greece just for those cookies.
That's how amazing they were... The best cookies in the world, perhaps? :)
