ITALIAN EASTER COOKIES
Italian Easter cookies are lightly sweet sugar cookies with a fluffy cake-like texture. We loved the sugar cookie flavor with the vanilla almond icing. Add a little color to your icing and some sprinkles for an adorable and irresistible cookie that screams spring. So tasty, these will be gone before you can say Easter Bunny!
