These pastel Amaretti cookies are perfect for Easter.
The flavor of these cookies reminds me a lot of my Norwegian almond cookies the ingredients are almost the same.
These cookies become crispier and crunchier the longer they sit, so make sure to not overbake these.
I roll this cookie both before and after baking in confectionary sugar flavored with natural raspberry powder/ blueberry flavor and zest of a lemon. It is delicious and perfect for Easter, 

 

The inspiration for the pastel cookies was inspired by a picture I saw on Instagram from @meringuegirls.
