Instructions
1
|
Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
2
|
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3
|
Using your hands, add the shredded beets to the flour mixture and toss to coat.
4
|
Add the oil and work with your hands to bring the dough together (the salt and sugar will fall to the bottom of the bowl so make sure you knead the dough well to combine everything — the outcome will be a smooth dough).
5
|
Form the smooth, sweet beet dough into a flat disk and roll it out to 1/2 inch thick on parchment paper or a dry clean surface.
6
|
Using a knife, cut the dough into squares or use small cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
7
|
Bake on a Silpat or parchment-lined cookie sheet for 15-17 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Squeeze Dry for Crunch 🥒After grating raw beets, wrap them tightly in cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly—this prevents soggy cookies and ensures that signature crunchiness.
- Beet Juice as Natural Sweetener 🎨Reserve the beet juice when squeezing and use it to replace a portion of oil for deeper color and natural sweetness without adding extra sugar.
- Cold Dough Rest Prevents Spreading ❄️Chill your dough for at least 30 minutes before baking—the moisture from beets can cause excessive spreading, and cold dough helps maintain crispy edges and chewy centers.
- Precise Beet-to-Flour Ratio ⚖️Weigh your grated beets rather than measuring by volume, as they compress inconsistently; this ensures consistent texture and prevents overly moist batches from varying beet sizes.
- Add Acid for Bright Flavor 🍋Mix a tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar into your dough to brighten the earthy beet flavor and enhance the natural sweetness without tasting sour.
