Gluten-free Rainbow Cookies

By: Jen Wooster from Peel with Zeal
Gluten-free Rainbow Cookies

"These gluten-free rainbow cookies are my take on a classic Italian-American treat. These bite-sized cakes are made up of thin layers of sponge cake topped with raspberry jam, apricot preserves, and melted chocolate. Rainbow cookies, also commonly known as tri-color cookies, first became a thing in Italian immigrants in New York. They were made to show patriotism and represent the Italian flag. Since then, they have become widely popular as Christmas cookies. Believe it or not, these cookies are actually not cookies at all! They're dense layers of almond sponge cake, jam, and chocolate cut into perfect tiny squares. The flavor combination is delicious, and the light texture of the cake just can't be beaten."
