Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2-3 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup pink food coloring
1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. If the dough is too dry, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it holds together.
Divide and Color: Divide the dough in half; add pink food coloring to one half and mix until you achieve your desired shade.
Marble the Dough: Take small pieces of each colored dough and flatten them together. Roll them into a log and twist to create a marbled effect. Slice into thin wafers.
Bake: Place the wafers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional Drizzle: If desired, melt white chocolate chips and drizzle over the cooled wafers for an extra touch of sweetness.
