Ingredients

1 cup - all purpose flour
½ tsp - baking powder
2 tablespoons - sugar
¼ tsp - kosher salt
½ cup - raw beets
2 tablespoons - oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Using your hands, add the shredded beets to the flour mixture and toss to coat.
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).
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.
Using a knife, cut the dough into squares or use small cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
Bake on a Silpat or parchment-lined cookie sheet for 15-17 minutes.
