Rainbow/7 Layer cookies

Thank you! I wish I could share them with all of you because I sure made tooooo many! We got I think 8 dozen out of it. I didn't even finish them all and that's after my niece took home more than half of the lot to distribute among her hubby, friends and inlaws!

We successfully made the rainbow cookies (and I made some cannoli as well) and they came out sooo good! Everyone loved them! I uploaded some photos to my photo album so you can see how they came out:

(I didn't make the cannoli shells, those were Alessi brand, store bought.)

I don't know if you can use ready made cookie dough but I think as long as you have the almond paste in there (that's what really gives them their special flavor), they will probably come out well. We put the almond paste into a food processor to mash it up good because it was so thick. I have the tiniest food processor, it hold like a cup or two so it took a long time to get all of it done. My niece was wonderful and did most of the work. I spread the jam, layered the cookies, and melted the chocolate while she spread it on. She wants to make them again.

Oh, we didn't do such a great job making all the layers even, but it was our very first attempt so I think we will get better with practice!

I bet these would be delish! I've heard of them before, but never knew how to make them! Thanks!

I have never seen those . They look so cool and yummy! So, I am assuming that they taste as good as they look?
Let us know how they come out and you can send me some...lol!
