These were really satisfying to make and delicious. You really do need that much food colouring to get the bright red colour. 18 is the perfect cookie size. My only criticism is don’t start by heating the oven, as you need to chill the mix in the fridge for 30mins. Turn the oven on then instead. Will definitely be making these again.
