Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Divide the cookie dough into eight equal portions, rolling each into a smooth ball.
Flatten each ball into an oval shape about ¼-inch thick.
Carefully carve a gentle 'C' curve along one long edge of each oval with a butter knife.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tsp beet powder with 1 tsp water and brush lightly over the cookie surfaces.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar blend generously, focusing on the curved edge.
Place 3-4 slivered almonds along the curved edge as ear details.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are just golden.

Notes

For a vibrant pink color, adjust the amount of beet powder to achieve desired shade.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
Experiment with different cookie shapes for variation.
