RAINBOW COOKIES
Rainbow cookies are found at Italian bakeries and with this recipe, you can make them at home. With their layers of colors, they'll be the star of your cookie plate. The almond cake layers have raspberry jam spread in-between. We love the almond paste and almond extract. They add a nutty and sweet flavor to the cake. On top is a layer of chocolate that just adds to the yumminess of this Italian cookie.
