Rainbow Cookies
When I was a kid we didn’t have Rainbow Cookies. We had Seven Layer cookies. Cause they have seven layers.
I heard Italian Flag cookie, but we never called them that either. They were colored after the colors of the Italian flag though.
That part is true. Tricolor cookie? That never stuck either. But Rainbow Cookies, everybody liked that one.
While they are colored red, white (yellow) and green, we can use any colors we want. That’s the beauty of making them yourself.
I like to do red, white and blue in the summer, some Autumn colors in the fall, maybe red and orange. Goes nice with the brown chocolate.
You get the idea. The world is your oyster. Let’s see how to do it.
