Italian rainbow cookies (also known as tri color cookies) require a little planning, but they’re quite easy to make. Thin layers of soft almond cake are sandwiched together with sweet raspberry jam, then coated in chocolate. It's cake disguised as a cookie! Prepare the sheet pans.
This rainbow cookie recipe may require some extra TLC to assemble, but the ingredients list is minimal. All you need to make Italian rainbow cookies are eggs (separate the whites from the egg yolks), sugar, almond paste, butter, salt, food coloring, and raspberry preserves.
While most low-carb cookies are made with almond flour or coconut flour, these delicious sandwich cookies use hazelnut flour as a base. The ganache filling gives these unique cookies a creamy texture, and with only two grams net carbs per cookie, you can eat your heart out. Check out the recipe here.
Why are they called rainbow cookies? Rainbow cookies, also called “tricolore,” were created by Italian immigrants in the United States during the 1900s as a way to show their patriotism. The three colors of these layered cookies – white, red, and green – are meant to resemble the Italian flag.
