How to Make Pretty In Pink

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and a pinch of pink food coloring (start with ⅛ teaspoon and add more as needed to achieve desired color).
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
