We looked forward to Easter and receiving our Old Italian favorite....Easter cookie with the colored eggs. I still make these every Easter and pass them out to our constantly growing family. You can get creative with this recipe and make smaller individual ones with one or 2 eggs for each child or do the traditional braided wreath for the whole family to enjoy. There is also a traditional European Easter bread recipe with colored eggs that I will be posting. Use your Pampered Chef medium or large round stoneware, bar pans, rectangle stone or any of their baking sheet pans for this recipe.
