Steps:
- Sift together the flour and baking powder into a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together for 1 minute. Add egg and vanilla. Add half of dry ingredients, stir completely, then add second half.
- Separate dough into 5 equal portions, with an indentation or small "bowl" in the middle of each ball of dough.
- Add 1-2 drops of gel food coloring to each ball of dough, in the middle of the indentation you created. Only use one color of gel per dough mound: red, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
- Knead each ball of dough separately, working in the food coloring until you have five brightly colored balls of dough.
- Roll purple dough out into a 1 inch thick log, about 6" long. Set aside.
- Roll out the blue dough so that it is the same length as the purple log of dough, but flatten the blue dough so that it is only about 1/4" thick. Place the purple dough log in the middle of the blue dough, rolling up the sides of the blue sheet of dough so that it surrounds the purple dough to form one larger log.
- Repeat what you just did with the blue dough with each additional color, until you have one log of dough. Make sure that all of the colors are firmly pressed together with no gaps.
- Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour to overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line two cookie trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
- Remove cookie dough log from fridge and slice into 1/2 inch cookies - then slice again through the middle.
- Place onto prepared baking sheet 1 inch apart.
- Bake 8-10 minutes, the cookies will appear matte in appearance (not shiny). Allow to cool before frosting.
- Use a plastic piping bag to draw "clouds" on each end of your rainbow cookies with white icing. Allow to set completely before serving.

Steps:
- Make up a batch of the vanilla cookie dough.
- Separate into 6 balls and colour each one by working a few drops of food gel into the dough. The dough may get a little wet so you can balance it out with a little extra flour.
- Wrap the balls in cling film and leave to chill in the fridge for 20 mins.
- Roll out each ball of dough to about 2mm thick. Cut strips of dough (one from each colour) and assemble into the shape of a rainbow. We ran ours along the inside of a circle cookie cutter to get the rounded shape. Press down lightly on the joins of the strips to fix them together.
- Bake for in the oven at 160°C/320°F/Gas Mark 3, checking after 12 mins. You don't want the cookies to brown and lessen the effect of the colour.

Steps:
- How to Prepare:Total:60 minutesPrep Time:40 minutes1For the Biscuits2Line 2 large baking trays with baking parchment and set aside. Cream together the butter, Vanilla Extract and sugar until a smooth mixture is formed. Add the flour and mix to form a biscuit dough, if the dough is too crumbly add 1-2 tsp of milk to help bring the dough together. 3Once the dough is formed, roll out to a thickness of approx. ½ cm on a surface lightly dusted with flour. 4Cut out circles approx. 9cm in diameter and then cut each circle in half to create semi circles. Place the semi circles onto you prepared baking tray spaced slightly apart and leave in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes - this helps the biscuits retain their shape when baked.510 minutes before the biscuits are ready to bake pre-heat your oven to 180°C/ 160°C fan/ Gas Mark 4. Place your biscuits in the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown in colour. Remove the biscuits from the oven and leave to cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. To Decorate6Whilst your biscuits are chilling in the fridge, you can colour the fondant. Divide the fondant into 6 pieces. Place the pieces of fondant in some cling film to prevent it from drying out. Take one piece of fondant and knead until soft and pliable onto a surface lightly dusted with icing sugar, flatten the fondant a place a few drop of pink colour gel into the centre of the fondant. Fold the fondant into its self to knead in the colour, add a few more drops of pink colour gel until your desired shade of colour is achieved. Repeat this for each piece of fondant colouring each piece a different colour and leave one piece white. Wrap in cling film until required.7Once the biscuits are cool, break a small piece off each ball of fondant a roll into a thin sausage shape. Brush a biscuit with honey.8Starting at the top of the biscuit lay the pink fondant sausage around the top of the biscuit, then layer the orange below, then the yellow, green and finally finish with a small ball of blue fondant to fill the middle of the rainbow. Gently push down on the fondant rainbow to ensure it is stuck to the biscuit. Repeat this step so each biscuit is covered in fondant. 9To finish roll the remaining white fondant into small balls and stick onto the base of each rainbow using honey to resemble clouds!
ITALIAN RAINBOW COOKIES
Also known as Venetians, Neapolitans or tricolore cookies, these classic Italian-American treats are not really cookies at all, but thin, dense layers of brightly hued almond cake stacked with apricot jam, and coated with glossy chocolate. The layers are traditionally red, white and green to resemble the Italian flag, but, of course, you can play around with the colors depending on the holiday and what you have on hand. This version is adapted from Mary Carpino, from Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., who made them every Christmas for years. One of her granddaughters, Nicole Carpino Frasco, passed along the recipe to us. We increased the chocolate and salt slightly, but the festive spirit of the recipe remains. Mrs. Carpino stored them in her chilly winter attic, but if you don't have one of those, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 5 months.

Steps:
- Arrange 2 racks in the center of the oven and heat to 350 degrees. Make room in your refrigerator for 1 half-sheet pan. Grease 3 (13-by-9-inch) baking pans or quarter-sheet pans with cooking spray or a little oil, then line with parchment or wax paper. (This helps the paper stay in place.) Spray or oil the parchment.
- Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl. In the bowl of a standing mixer (or with a hand mixer), or in a large bowl if using an electric hand mixer, break up the almond paste using a fork or your fingers. Add butter, sugar, egg yolks and almond extract. Using the paddle attachment, beat on high until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the bowl halfway through. Turn off the mixer, add a third of the flour and salt, then beat on medium-low until just combined. Repeat with another third, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, and continue until all the flour is added and incorporated. Transfer batter to a large bowl. Rinse and dry the mixing bowl.
- Add egg whites to the mixing bowl and beat on high speed with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form, 30 to 45 seconds. Fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
- Remove one-third of the batter to one of the prepared pans. Use an offset spatula to evenly spread the batter in the pan all the way to the edges. (This can get a little tricky, but have patience and take your time. The oil on the pan should help hold the paper in place, but if you're having trouble, hold the paper in place with one hand while you spread with the other.) Remove another one-third of the batter to a medium bowl and add a couple drops of green food coloring. Stir until blended, and add more to reach your desired shade. Transfer green batter to a prepared pan and spread evenly. Add a couple drops of red food coloring to the remaining batter, stir to combine, add more as needed, then transfer to the last pan and spread evenly. Firmly tap each pan on the countertop to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until the edges are barely browned, the tops are just set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Immediately slide cakes from the pans onto racks using the parchment paper. Cool completely.
- Using the parchment paper, slide the green cake onto a half-sheet pan. In a small saucepan, heat preserves over medium until loose, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. Spread half of the preserves over the green layer, going all the way to the edge. Carefully flip the uncolored layer on top (use a large offset spatula to help), and remove the parchment paper. Spread with the remaining preserves. Top with the red layer and remove the parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and place another rimmed baking sheet on top of the cookies. Transfer to the refrigerator, then top with heavy cans so the weight is evenly distributed. Refrigerate overnight.
- Melt half of the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second bursts. Using an offset spatula, spread the chocolate on the top and to the edges, then refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Melt the remaining chocolate. Place a piece of parchment or wax paper on a cutting board, then place on top of the cake and invert the cake onto the board. Spread the bottom with the remaining chocolate. Let cool for a few minutes, then use the tines of a fork to draw waves in the chocolate and add sprinkles, if desired. Refrigerate until almost firm, but still slightly soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. (If you wait until the chocolate is fully set, the chocolate will crack when you cut.)
- Run a sharp knife under hot water, dry, then trim the edges and save for snacking. Cut the cake into 1-inch squares, running the knife under hot water and drying between cuts. Return to the refrigerator to set completely. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container with wax paper between layers. Allow to come to room temperature a bit before serving.
