  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated.
  5. Add the red food coloring and mix until the color is uniform throughout the dough.
  6. Chill the dough for at least 1 hour to enhance flavors.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
