Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp red food coloring
- 1 cup powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix well.
- Mix in the red food coloring until the color is evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and roll in powdered sugar until coated. Place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, make sure the dough is properly chilled. This helps prevent excess spreading during baking.
