Italian Rainbow Cookies - Drop Cookie Style

in

I love Italian rainbow cookies, they are one of my favorite holiday cookies out there! So this year, I set out on making a drop cookie style version of the beloved classic rainbow cookie and here it is! I love the way this cookie came out! They taste surprisingly similar to the actual rainbow cookie with a little more softness and crispiness in the texture. I found that letting them cool for a day really brings those quintessential almond flavor and raspberry jam notes out. You could swirl these cookies to have a more marble effect but I like the way they looked as parallel lines, like the original rainbow cookie! These cookies are sweet, they are nostalgic and they are perfect if you are a fan of rainbow cookies!

If you are not familiar with almond croquant, it is a simple almond brittle that is made with sugar, golden syrup and lots of almonds.
