  2. In a separate mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add red food coloring, mixing until evenly incorporated.
  4. Carefully fold in the dry ingredients, using milk as needed to achieve a thick, pliable dough.
  5. Pipe the cookie dough into rose shapes on parchment-lined baking sheets and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and bake the cookie roses for 8-10 minutes.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack.
