Italian Rainbow Cookies, are so popular and quite expensive in the bakeries in my area! As a child, I didn't love these cookies! I think because they were always store-bought! I am no cookie snob but sometimes a cookie just has to be home-made! Many years ago, I was given an amazing batch of Homemade Italian Rainbow Cookies!
