These Rainbow Chocolate Chip Cookies are completely unnecessary and totally unnecessary at the exact same time. I mean they’re a thick, chewy, chocolate chip cookie THAT ARE RAINBOW COLORED! How have I never thought of rainbow cookies before?!? Of course, they taste exactly as they should…like a perfect chocolate chip cookie…but as my 11 year old told me, they are so much more fun to eat. And I couldn’t agree more.
How to make Rainbow Chocolate Chip Cookies
The cookie dough is very basic. The only difference is there is slightly more flour in these. The reason that I did this, is to add a thickness to the dough, without chilling it. You just need to be careful not to over-bake these cookies. You might even think you’re under-baking them slightly. It’s totally fine, I promise. The secret to getting these rainbow cookies thick, but still stay soft, is to take them out of the oven a minute or so before they are totally baked! See…the dough looks so innocent… You just divide the cookie dough it into 4 portions. Certainly you could do more colors, but I find 4 to look the prettiest. AND yes, of course, you can use whatever colors you like! I created a Patriotic Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe also! I dyed my dough with food coloring gel. I prefer Americolor Gel especially for the red. It colors the dough very vibrant-true colors without having the use too much. You just color each portion, as desired, and then roll each into a long rope. Place each rope onto a piece of cling wrap and roll it up into one giant log… Unwrap it and voila! Then just grab portions of the dough with your hands (about 2 tablespoons), roll it into a loose ball and place it onto the baking sheet. You can add a few extra chocolate chips if you want them to look extra pretty. They bake up evenly and gorgeous! These are just about the cutest chocolate chip cookies ever to exist! And they taste fantastic…which is really the whole point. If you love these Rainbow Chocolate Chip Cookies, check out my red, white, and blue cookies as well!
