Rainbow Cookie

Rainbow cookies, while delightful and charming, can be a little tricky to get right. The first thing people usually struggle with is the consistency of the dough. It needs to be pliable, yet firm enough to hold the layers together. Incorporating the color evenly can also be a challenge, often leading to uneven hues. The layering of the cookies is another commonly faced issue - the layers need to be uniformly thin, but not so thin that they crumble. Lastly, the chocolate coating can be tricky - it needs to be thin, but should fully cover the cookie, and it often drips or thickens if not handled correctly. Here are some tips: ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin; use gel food colours for vibrant, uniform shades; lightly dust your work surface with icing sugar to prevent the dough from sticking; trim the edges of your baked layers for even slices; and let the chocolate set at room temperature before transferring the cookies to the fridge for a quicker set time. Remember, practice makes perfect - so don’t be disheartened if they don’t come out perfectly the first time.
