Easter Cookies

We are now heading into the beginning of March which means that it’s time for the Easter treats to hit the grocery stores and Bakeries.

Even though I am still seeing and loving Castagnole and Frappe.

These Southern Italian Cookies are popular during the Easter Season, a not too sweet cookie, that is covered in a simple powdered sugar glaze.

What does Uncinetti mean?

Uncinetti in Italian means crochet. Which in this sense means the crochet knot, it is actually what the cookie is suppose to resemble.

What do Italian Knot cookies taste like?

These Easter Cookies, are a typical Italian cookie, meaning they are not very sweet, nor are they a soft moist cookie.

Some say they are very similar to a Sweet Taralli.

The perfect Breakfast cookie, to eat with a cup of coffee or tea. Personally they are one of my favourites. I think the lemon glaze gives them the perfect amount of extra sweetness.
