ITALIAN EGG BISCUITS
Easter is coming and one cookie that is always on our Easter dessert table are these beautiful Italian Egg Biscuits. It’s been a pretty long time since I’ve actually had a traditional one with sugar, probably been over 15 years now, but I do remember that perfect texture and subtle sweetness. It was kind of dense, but light at the same time. Hard to explain if you’ve never tried them, but oh so memorable.

- If you want more of a frosting look instead of a glaze, as you see from my pics, I swapped the almond milk with whole milk.
- This recipe was first published in April 2017 using Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour and then adapted in March 2018 using an almond and coconut flour ratio I felt was best for the proper texture of this cookie.
