Passover Rainbow Cookies image

The name "rainbow cookies" is actually a bit of a misnomer for these classic New York treats. To make the pretty layered cookies, you'll bake three thin cakes, spread jam between them and coat with smooth melted chocolate. -Shannon Sarna, South Orange, New Jersey

These cookies were a bit dry, but the chocolate ganache helped to make them more moist. I think I'll add a little more chocolate ganache next time.
