Gluten-Free Ovis Mollis is the recipe I propose to you today, the gluten-free version of the classic ovis mollis that I had prepared some time ago. This recipe can also be made with lactose-free butter or margarine. Ovis mollis are very crumbly cookies made with a shortcrust pastry based on hard-boiled yolks and then filled with jam or cocoa cream, and even dried fruit for those with a sweet tooth.
