2. Food Coloring
To achieve the iconic rainbow layers, you will need food coloring in red, green, and yellow. Gel food coloring works best as it creates vibrant colors without altering the consistency of the batter.
3. Flour
All-purpose flour is used in this recipe to give the cookies structure and stability. Make sure to measure the flour accurately for the best results.
4. Butter
Butter adds richness and flavor to the cookies. Make sure to use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in the recipe.
5. Sugar
Granulated sugar is used to sweeten the cookies. You can use white sugar or substitute with brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
Instructions:
1. Prep and Preheat
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan.
2. Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the almond paste and sugar until well combined. Add in the butter and mix until smooth. Gradually add in the flour and mix until a dough forms.
3. Divide the Dough and Add Food Coloring
Divide the dough into three equal parts. Add red food coloring to one part, green to another, and yellow to the last. Mix each dough until the color is evenly distributed.
4. Assemble the Layers
Roll out each colored dough into a 9x12 inch rectangle. Stack the layers on top of each other, pressing down gently to create a solid block of dough.
5. Bake and Cool
Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely before slicing into small squares.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Once the cookies are cooled, serve and enjoy these delicious holiday rainbow cookies with friends and family. They make a great addition to any holiday dessert platter or gift box.
