    I am from n.y. but now live in georgia. Back home I would AlWAYS buy these at my local bakery in town ( the best bakery in our area) and Always get as much as was available. On my recent trip to N.Y. to visit family I made sure the day that I was leaving to come back home , to get up early and run to the bakery and purchase All they had to bring back with me. There are NO GOOD ITALIAN bakeries here in this state :( So NOW I CAN MAKE THESE...... "YESSSSS" They are SOOOOOO GOOD. It takes an ITALIAN TO COOK REAL ITALIAN FOOD.... NOTHING LIKE IT.. Anise christmas cookies ( TERRELS ) are the BOMB also . Thanks so much ROSELLA AND NONNA.

      @@gnamorfra I had only been to little italy in down town manhatten. Then it was known for all the italian restaurants in the area that had been populated by italian families that had immigrated from their respective countries. and opened eateries and bakery shops and other businesses that made the area a very mixed population. We had ALL kinds of cooking smells filling the hallways of my building where I lived and you kind of knew what someone was making for dinner.... and everyone knew each other by NAME ... Things have certainly changed . I do love these rainbow cookies and I don't care if they are Italian or not because they are just cookies . I make my own homemade almond paste for these and have made them 4 times for the recent holidays and gave to family and friends and they came out perfect every time. They can also be frozen for ever as long as you wrap them very well. You got me thinking I should make some more !!! :0)

I am from N.Y. and now live in the state of Georgia and if I could drive or fly EVERY DAY to N.Y. just to get fresh baked BAGELS, and ROLLS and good ITALIAN bread , I would..... lol I hope your friends can find a GOOD bakery in their home town.

    I have made these many times and have used orange jam also. Orange and chocolate go together. This recipe is very versatile and can be frozen too. I make enough to share and freeze , just wrap them in freeezer paper first then in aluminmum foil. They will last forever. Cheaper to make than to purchase in a bakery as they are expensive pr. lb.( $7-8 ). I LOVE THESE !! When I am in N.Y. I go to NERIS Bakery in Port Chester and get several lbs. to take back home as they make the best rainbow cookies. Do visit them when in the area... WORTH THE TRIP.

With the cost to purchase these at least 10.00/pound and then a crap shoot if they taste good. This recipe is awesome!!! Thank you so much! BTW they taste even better sitting a couple days. Moist, and delicious. The only problem I had was cutting them, I must have put the chocolate on too thick cause the chocolate cracked when I tried to cut them. Any suggestions?

    Oooo she cuts it while the chocolate is still wet. Smart! All these other recipes I've seen have you waiting until it's hardened to cut it and I always wondering "what about cracking?" Granted the used vegetable oil to prevent this, the thickness of the layer will still possibly allow it to crack...
