Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

- Combine Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Add Colorful Ingredients:
- Divide the dough if using multiple natural colorings, then mix in beet powder or matcha. Alternatively, fold in sprinkles and M&Ms evenly.
- Shape and Bake:
- Scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Notes

- Substitute natural food coloring with gel colors for more vibrant results.
