An Oklahoma Granny asked if I would share the recipe for these delicious Rainbow Cookies, so here it is:1-8 oz. can of almond paste
3 sticks of butter, softened (1 and 1/2 cups)
1 cup of sugar
2 cups of flour
1 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. salt
4 eggs
1 jar of seedless raspberry
12 oz chocolate chips
red and green food coloring
Oven temp: 350 degrees
Bake time: 12-15 minutes
Break up almond paste in a large bowl and beat in butter, sugar, eggs, and almond extract until light and fluffy. Beat in flour and salt. Split batter into 3 equal portions. Mix one portion with green food coloring and one with red food coloring, leaving the last portion as is. Spread each portion out to 1/4" thickness into the bottom of an ungreased baking pan. Bake until lightly browned. Allow to cool. Place one layer on a cookie sheet and spread seedless raspberry jam on top, place uncolored layer on top and spread with raspberry again. Place remaining layer on top and melt chocolate chips and spread over top and sides. Chill for at least 1 hour or until firm. Slice into small rectangles.
