Rainbow Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is a rainbow surprise, for sure! If you are a rainbow cookie lover (Like I am!) then you NEED these in your world. The chocolate chip cookie is huge, buttery and packed with melty chips making it the perfect combo. These are fabulous warm right from the oven! When making these, I left off the outside layer of chocolate on the rainbow cookies. I felt there was enough chocolate from the mini chips! I also snuck in some sprinkles but those are optional. You can make the rainbows ahead of time and freeze them for ease.
