Equipment

Stand mixer
Baking sheet with parchment paper
Wire cooling rack

Ingredients

1 1/2 Cups Flour
1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 Cup Butter softened
1 Cup Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
2 teaspoon No-Taste Red Gel Food Coloring
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar for coating cookies

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Cream butter and sugar with stand mixer or electric hand mixer.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing in between, until incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla and vinegar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients, mixing as you add.
Mix in a teaspoon of food coloring. If needed, add more food coloring a few drops at a time, until you have your desired shade of red.
Fill a small bowl halfway with powdered sugar. Drop scoops of cookie dough (about 1 1/2 TB) into the bowl of powdered sugar, rolling to coat completely.
Place dough balls on the cookie sheet about two inches apart and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the tops crack.
Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
