Vegan Rosy Cookies

Vegan Rosy Cookies

When I first encountered this recipe, I couldn't stop thinking about it due to its unusual combination. We embarked on a creative journey together to make these "rosy cookies," and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicate they turned out.

The cookies boast an appealing pink-orange hue and are incredibly tender, with a texture between gingerbread and biscuit. If tomato juice isn't available, you can mix a bit of tomato paste with water as a substitute. The tomato flavor is virtually undetectable, leaving everyone guessing their ingredients and delighted by their vegan nature.

or 10 tablespoons water + 2 tablespoons tomato paste

Allow them to cool before serving. They are crisper on the first day and soften by the second, akin to gingerbread.
