Rainbow Cookies


There is nothing quite as yummy as the tricolor rainbow cookies! Much easier to make than you would think, too! This is my absolute favorite recipe for rainbows. This was given to me from a wonderful chef while we were at a brunch. I raved about his cookies and he shared with secrets with me. Now, I will share them with YOU!
