Description
Rainbow cookies make the perfect gift or dessert on Christmas, but today I'm taking the idea of Pride Month a little too literally. Traditional versions contain multiple sticks of butter, high sugar jelly, and of course artificial food dyes, so I had my work cut out for me here.
Rainbow cookies, healthy or not, are a multiple hour process, so be prepared to put in the work. They're absolutely worth the effort on occasion, and I love making these once a year or so. These cookies are free of added sugar and unhealthy fats, and of course contain no food dyes.
Beets are used to naturally color the red layer, and avocado is used for the green. The cookie layers, the raspberry jam, and the chocolate coating are all sweetened with granulated monk fruit, instead of white sugar, leading to a cookie with no refined sugar that won't spike your blood sugar. The cookie layers also use almond flour instead of white flour, making them gluten free, higher in healthy fats and fiber, and lower in refined starches
