Incredible Melomakarona!

Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and knead.

Shape the melomakarona.  Take a walnut sized piece of dough and shape it into an oval.

Bake in a preheated oven, 180 degrees, approximately 30 minutes.

Prepare the syrup by bringing the syrup ingredients to a boil in a large pot.

Submerge the cookies into the hot syrup, a few at a time, for about 5 minutes.  If you prefer them softer, let stand longer.

Arrange on a serving platter, scattering finely chopped walnuts over every layer.
