When we think of Easter sweets, our minds immediately go to large leavened breads, but there is also room for small pastries, the kind to nibble during an afternoon tea or to give away in pretty clear bags. The Easter cookies I propose today do not come from an ancient regional tradition, but from one of my kitchen experiments: I wanted shortbread cookies with a distinct character and a unique flavor, capable of standing out from the usual shortcrust. For this recipe I decided to "dare" by adding a portion of chestnut flour to the classic flour. I know well that it is not a typically spring flour, but its natural sweetness and slightly toasted aftertaste are perfect for creating unexpectedly successful cookies. The result was surprising: an aromatic shortcrust, warm in color, that melts in your mouth and won everyone over at the first bite. Chestnut flour is a precious ingredient that we often leave forgotten in the pantry after making castagnaccio. One of my personal tricks? Since it is a delicate flour, I always store leftovers in the freezer. This way it stays very fresh, doesn't risk going rancid or expiring, and is always ready to be "dared" in new recipes like this one! If you don't have it at home, don't give up these cookies: you can easily make them with classic "type 0" flour or a mix of flours as you prefer. The convenience of these bell-shaped cookies is that they can be prepared well in advance. They keep very well for many days in a tin box, maintaining their fragrance. Decorated with little stars or colored sprinkles, as you see in the photo, they immediately bring Easter cheer to the table. I'm sure that if you try them once, they will become a "must" and you'll make them again soon… try and see! Put on your apron and let me know if your guests are also enchanted by the magical touch of chestnuts! About 74 kcal per cookie
