Makes: 24 small cookies
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cooked beets (if you don't want to cook your own, I recommend Love Beets)
- 1 cup + 1 Tbsp whole wheat flour (or flour of your choice)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil (or oil of your choice)
- Sour Cream Icing optional if you want to frost cookies (recipe below)
Sour Cream Icing
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp water
- 1-2 drops pink food coloring or a little leftover beet puree, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
- Place beets in food processor or blender and process until pureed.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer or wooden spoon, combine flour, baking powder, pureed beets, honey, and coconut oil. Mix until combined, taking care not to over-mix.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to about ¼" thick. Using whatever cookie cutter you desire, cut out shapes from cookie dough. Place on prepared baking sheet about an inch apart.
- Bake cookies for 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving to a metal rack to cool completely.
- Once cookies are cool, top with sour cream icing. You can either spread on with a spatula or pipe on with a pastry bag.
Sour Cream Icing
- Put sour cream, honey, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl and whisk together. Add in a little bit of beet puree or natural food coloring to give icing a pink tinge if desired.
Notes
- If you use Love Beets, they're sold in 8.8 oz. packages, so you can just keep a little bit to the side to use to color your icing.
- Feel free to use any type of flour and oil you want for these cookies.
