5Pignoli Cookies
Parker feierbachThis classic Italian cookie is perfect for the almond lovers in your life. You'll find this cookie in practically any Italian bakery, and it's commonly found throughout Southern Italy and Sicily. The treat is studded with "pignoli", Italian for pine nuts, and gets even more nutty flavor from a hefty amount of almond paste (one of our favorite secret weapons in baked goods for its rich, slightly sweet flavor). Egg whites help give the cookies a chewy and airy texture, and also help make this cookie totally gluten-free—no flour required!

6Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Buckwheat flour is a nutritional powerhouse: High in fiber and minerals, it's known for its cardiovascular benefits (and despite its name, it's not actually wheat and thus all clear for Passover). Meanwhile, glutinous rice flour acts as a milky, starchy binder, and almond flour helps to create a rich, nutty, plushy chew. The barely detectable pinch of lavender works together with bright citrus and smokey coffee to balance out the earthiness of the gluten-free flours, and a touch of milk powder completes the flavor package.
