    Recipe: Chewy Rainbow Cookies

    Chewy rainbow cookies for the holidays? Yes. I’m not a big fan of green and red together, those colours kind of clash, right? They look far better when there is some silver or white to break up the contrast. Anyway, my point is that if you don’t want to use rainbow colours then you could use green, red and white to make them more holiday like. Okay, let’s bake up! Ingredients 2 cups of cake flour 1 teaspoon of baking soda 2 teaspoon of corn…

Second, the spice is important. Recently, when my in-laws were here they introduced us to The Silk Road Spice Merchant and…
