Prepare everything you need. To obtain beet juice, grate boiled beets on a grater, and then squeeze the juice through cheesecloth. Take out the egg and butter in advance, they should be at room temperature.
Put soft butter, salt, and sugar in a bowl.
100 g butter, 1 pinch salt, 80 g sugar
Mash with a fork, break the egg.
1 pc egg
Add beet and lemon juice. In the presence of acid, the beet will retain its color during heat treatment.
5 ml lemon juice, 30 ml beet juice
Mix, sift the flour.
200 g flour
Knead a soft, non-sticky dough of bright pink color.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about ½ cm. Cut out blanks with a cookie cutter. Today we will make button-shaped cookies, so we will use a round cookie cutter. Use a cocktail straw to make 2 or 4 holes, like buttons.
Place on a baking sheet. You can make blanks of any other shape.
Bake in the oven at 170°C for 10-12 minutes. It is very important not to overcook, otherwise the color may turn brown. As soon as the surface becomes firm, remove from the oven. The pink cookies are ready.
