RAINBOW COOKIES ROCK!!!!!!
For my Dad’s bday 2025….
For a fun twist I combined 2 of our favorite treats….rainbow cookies and crumb cake. I made this fabulous homemade crumb cake recipe and pushed some sliced rainbow cookies into the batter. I used cookies I had stored in the freezer and stood them up in the batter. Use an offset spatula to help spread the batter over the cookie tops and then proceed with the recipe as written.

Danielle,
I just wanted to say I think you are incredibly talented!! I feel lucky to have gotten your blog as my first SRC adventure. Thank you for making it so easy with all of your delicious recipes. And thank you for your kind words on my post. You are unbelievably talented with your sugar cookies. I just don’t know how you do it. Mine are NEVER that beautiful. You must be artistic outside of cooking too.

Hi Danielle!! You and I share a love for rainbows and cookies therefore I had to try this recipe. I followed it to the tee but the cake came out wet in the middle so I think I undercooked it. Is it supposed to be like that or should I bake it longer? Thank you for your help keep up the colorful and delicious work!! 🌈

hi! It should be moist but I wouldn’t say wet. When the corners just start to brown and pull from sides it should be done! ❤️
