Gluten-Free Easter Egg Cookies image

As you can imagine, Easter treats are huge in Italy! And because I wanted to stick to this delicious Italian tradition, I created a recipe for Gluten-Free Easter Egg Cookies together with a quick video that shows you how to make them. You should really be in Italy at this time of the year: Chocolate Easter eggs are ubiquitous, chocolate shaped rabbits and hens are in every store, and all of the bakeries and pastry shops fill their windows with amazing sweet and savory treats, from Colomba to Torta Pasqualina. There's really something for everybody.

I couldn't find gluten-free flour, so I used regular flour instead. The cookies still turned out great!

The cookies fell apart when I tried to frost them. I think I overbaked them.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I might reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of gluten-free cookies, but these were surprisingly good! They were soft and chewy, and the frosting was delicious. I'll definitely be making them again.
