Tricolour Cookies. When I lived in New York, I used to get this delicious tri-color cookie from the Italian Bakery every year for the holidays. Once I moved down south, I was no longer able to get them. The directions seem long and scary, but these cookies are actually very easy to make. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and friends do. Add all purpose flour, baking powder and milk and make a soft dough.

Divide the dough into three parts. Mix orange colour in one part and knead again. These are delicious cookies and easy to make (just takes a bit of time). You can cook Tricolour Cookies using 10 ingredients and 12 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The Tricolor Cookie, or Rainbow Cookie, is a nearly ubiquitous part of the traditional American-Italian dessert platter, and it happens to be Renato's favorite snack. Our version of the cookie incorporates our bakery's colors (brown, white, and orange) instead of the red, white, and green used to evoke the Italian flag in the original cookie. Tricolour cookies "The classic flag cookie: it says everything about the neighbourhood and Mulberry Street," says chef Mario Carbone. "It was originated by Italian immigrant communities in the US who wanted to pay homage to their mother country." You'll need to begin this recipe a day ahead. Line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper and butter the parchment. These classic Italian holiday cookies are often brought out for Santa, but their layered rainbow look makes them a prime candidate for a Pride dessert plate too!.
