Pink Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
I hope you guys are as excited about all the pink food I have planned for you this month as I am. There are only a few foods found in nature that produce pink result. As we saw yesterday, beets are one of them. This Pink Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe uses beets again to provide a beautiful pink tint. The roasted beets also gave a certain earthy-sweetness to these cookies that we both really enjoyed.
I made a few changes to the original recipe so that I could use some roasted beets that I had on hand. To make these cookies vegan, be sure to use vegan chocolate chips in them. I used regular mini chocolate chips because that’s what I had on hand.
Like most cookies, I really enjoyed these straight out of the freezer.

Pink Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yield: 10-12 cookies
Ingredients:
3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup shredded raw beets
1 Tbsp canola oil
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 Tbsp water
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions:
Combine all dry ingredients and stir.
In a food processor, pulse the shredded beets for a few second 5 times. Add the oil, vanilla, and water and process again. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the sugar to the food processor and pulse until completely combined. The mixture will be very liquidy.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and the beet mixture. Mix to combine.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 min at 350.

Mmmm. These look so good, and easy! Thanks for sharing.
I adore white chocolate and macadamia nuts!!! These look great, even better than the traditional cookie 🙂
I’m loving this “bar” week! These look great. I love white chocolate and macadamia nuts!
Sounds great. I’ve actually got a jar of macadamia nuts in the pantry too!
Those definitely sound great. I love white chocolate for a change sometimes. Can’t wait to see what else bars week has in store!
I love, love, love white chocolate and these look great!
This is my favorite flavour combo for cookies and it would be amazing in bar form as well!
