Absolutely my favorite cookie of all time, easier than I thought to make myself and a perfect addition to the Christmas cookie tray!
I always was in awe looking at these on every wedding tray when I was a little girl in Utica, New York.
It was the only cookie I picked off those trays, I loved them!
I couldn't wait to make my first batch as I grew up and that was the first cookie on the list of must makes.
There are several recipes all over on these rainbow cookies, this one I found the easiest and held up the best.
Utica is noted for great Italian foods and fabulous bakeries.
Not only did all the local Italian bakeries sell them, but many of my relatives made these cookies a tradition in their homes to make every year around the holiday season.
These cookies are famous everywhere in the world looking like an Italian flag in color and so delicious and can even be found to order online.
I am very proud to have grown up with an Italian family background and friends that kept those traditions going.
These Italian Rainbow Cookies is one that brings back the joys of childhood and I just love how these taste and look!
Plan on taking up most of the day, they're not hard but time-consuming.
Don't be intimidated to try these, they are well worth the time spent and everyone will rave about them.

These are the Best Italian Sesame Cookies I have ever had.
Once you try them you'll see why no other recipe will compare to these authentic style cookies.
Grandma from Rome, Italy, made these often to go with her espresso, there was always sesame seed cookies on a tray for company.
We were spoiled and never had to ask for these cookies, once they were gone another batch was made immediately.
That is long ago, and now I carry on that same tradition and make these almost as often.
Everyone loves them in the family, lemon-flavored being the favorite flavor of choice.
If you love sesame seed Italian cookies, this will be bar none, the last recipe you will ever have to look for.
I continue to make these in Grandma's memory all year long, the best cookie on the Christmas tray that's gone first.
For years I made these for my brother John (they were his favorite cookie on earth!) but as of 11/16/2019, he became an Angel, and now I will make them in his memory along with Grandma's, as she watches over him and they are now together in heaven.
Keeping their memory alive in the kitchen is very important to me.
