Heart Beet Cookies

Beet-tinted sweetheart cookies that necessitated an appropriate pun to lighten the mood on an otherwise Capitalism-driven holiday. Do as I do this year by creating instead of buying & donating the money on would-have-been gifts to a worthy cause that increases love in this world—I chose ACLU & Planned Parenthood . .

Directions

Recipe №1

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and coat a cookie sheet with coconut oil or ghee.

3. Flatten the cookies slightly if not rolled as above.

4. Bake for 12 minutes.

5. Let cool on a rack and serve to yourself, your sweetheart, or friend!

Recipe №2

1. In a food processor or high speed blender, mix the wet ingredients together.

2. Add the dry ingredients into a dough then refrigerate for an hour.

3. When the dough is ready, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and coat a cookie sheet with coconut oil or ghee.

4. Either roll the dough out to cut into shapes or press tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the cookie sheet.

5. Bake for 12 minutes and cool on rack before serving.

Tocos Icing

1. Soften the coconut butter by placing the jar in a warm water.

2. Scoop out 1/4 cup of liquid coconut butter and mix it with a tablespoon of Tocos to drizzle over the cookies.
