Red slipper shortbread cookies, easy to prepare but especially evocative on a day like today, dedicated to women. I prepare these shortbread cookies colored with red food gel.
I’m sure you’ll agree with me in thinking that women should be celebrated every day of the year… Unfortunately, however, there are still too many news stories of brutality and mistreatment against women. And that’s why I decided to make these simple and crumbly red shortbread cookies to say No to violence against women. And so I’ll tell you, it was very easy to imagine these red slipper shortbread cookies and immediately prepare them!
