Pink is becoming so recognisable as a symbol for Breast Cancer.
I believe its important to come together as a community and help raise awareness and funds to continue our battle against this devastating disease.
So I thought I would share these gorgeous biscuits, the recipe adapted from the cookbook Australian Women's Weekly Cookies.
Firstly you make a simple cookie dough and divide it in two.
To one batch I added beetroot powder, to the other I added 'fairy dust' sprinkles.
They are shaped into logs and refrigerated until firm.
Then cut into lengths and create your checker logs before refrigerating again.
The logs are then sliced and baked.
They are so pretty and fun to make.
And they tasted delicious.
And to put my money where my mouth is I will donate 20cents for every page view on this post over the next three days!
Those biscuits look so pretty *and* delicious, and for a very good cause as well - I think the idea of donating for each page view is wonderful. The pink checkerboard effect reminds me a bit of a battenberg cake (which I love!), so they definitely appeal - I think I'd need to incorporate some almond meal or almond flavour to satisfy the marzipan craving that I get from looking at them (to avoid that what-I-see-doesn't-taste-like-I-expect-it-to factor, that I always seem to have when something is flavoured with green tea and looks like it's going to be pistachio!).
