Beetroot Chocolate Chip Cookies

Healthier beetroot cookies in the house. Beetroot in this recepi, provide a lovely pink tint to the beautiful cookies. As i shared before my two lovely angels adore chocolate chip cookies. Be it white or dark chips they just can't stop snacking on it. I tried to be a little creative by adding finely grated beets into the plain cookie dough and walla! I couldn't stop admiring the vibrant red dough, the natural dark velvet colur rendered by beet indeed, the safest option for food coluring. One of the best way to sneak beets into your kids diet too.

This is a chewy cookie dough recepi, the moist grated beets keep the cookies soft and chewy. My first time baking with beets and no matter how scared my kids with vegetables, they loves the gorgeous pink/red colur. Who can blame them, girls will always be girls and they got excited when their favourite cookies dressed up with their favourite pink and guess what they hardly noticed the beets in their cookies. Store in an airtight container and it will last for a month or two personally, i don't have to wait till then.
