In today’s cozy spring vlog, I’m inviting you along for a few simple and beautiful days at home as we begin to welcome the new season.

We’ll spend some time in the kitchen baking the sweetest Easter cookies, chat about my vision and inspiration for our outdoor living space this spring, and start bringing those ideas to life. I also share how I like to create a simple vision board to gather inspiration for the season ahead, along with a few fresh ideas to embrace these slower, more intentional spring and summer days.

Thank you so much for spending this time with me. I hope this video brings you a little inspiration and encouragement as we step into these cozy spring days together 💕

With love,
Karen

Soft & Festive Italian Easter Cookies 🍪
Ingredients:
For the cookies:
‌
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp almond extract (optional)
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Zest of 1 lemon (or orange for a twist)
‌
For the glaze:
‌
1½ cups powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla or almond extract
Food coloring or pastel sprinkles (optional)
‌
Directions:
‌
Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
‌
Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla, almond extract (if using), and citrus zest.
‌
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft, sticky dough forms.
‌
Shape the Cookies: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls or small egg-like ovals. Place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
‌
Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. Let cool completely before glazing.
‌
Make the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and extract until smooth. Dip the top of each cookie into the glaze and return to the rack. Add sprinkles while the glaze is still wet.
‌
Set & Serve: Allow cookies to set for 15–20 minutes. Enjoy with espresso or wrap them as sweet gifts for friends and family.
