Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into eight equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball.
Flatten each ball into an oval shape, about ¼-inch thick.
Use a butter knife to carve a gentle “C” curve along one long edge of each oval.
Mix 2 tsp of beet powder with 1 tsp of water and brush it lightly over the cookie surfaces.
Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar blend, focusing on the curved edge.
Press 3-4 slivered almonds along the curved edge to add details.
Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes until the edges are just lightly golden.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the color intensity of the cookies by adding more or less beet powder.
These cookies can be decorated differently based on your creativity; use other edible decorations if desired.
