Ingredients
- pre-made sugar cookie dough (24-oz roll)
- natural pink food coloring (beet powder mixed with water)
- cinnamon sugar blend (2 tbsp cinnamon + ¼ cup white sugar)
- slivered almonds (¼ cup)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide the cookie dough into eight equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball.
- Flatten the balls into oval shapes approximately ¼-inch thick.
- Use a butter knife to carve a gentle “C” curve along one long edge of each oval.
- For the pink color, mix 2 teaspoons of beet powder with 1 teaspoon of water and brush it lightly over the surfaces of the cookies.
- Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar blend, focusing on the curved edge of each cookie.
- Press 3 to 4 slivered almonds along the curved edge to resemble ear details.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Notes
Make sure to roll the dough evenly to help the cookies bake uniformly.
Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon sugar to your liking for extra sweetness.
These cookies can be decorated with other colors and toppings for different occasions.
