Wilma’s colorful Butter Cookies
Pane-Bistecca
It will soon be Easter and I always associate Easter with bright colors. Wilma’s colorful butter cookies are not only beautiful, but also very tasty. The good thing about them is that they are made from one dough and then modified with taste and color. It’s all very quick and the cookies can be stored in a tin for up to 3 weeks.
I packed mine up and gave them away!
