"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
This recipe was my introduction to red velvet emulsion. It's amazing! I make these cookies at Christmastime – they are a beautiful addition to gift boxes when cut into snowflake shapes and iced simply with white Royal icing. They make very cute gnomes, too!

Pictured are cookies we (Jan, Melody, Sonny, Grace, and I) decorated Christmas Eve 2022. It's a fun tradition!
