Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Incorporate the red food coloring, mixing until you achieve an even, vibrant hue throughout your dough.
  6. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Chill the dough wrapped in plastic wrap for at least an hour.
  8. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough, roll them in powdered sugar, and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10 minutes or until set but still soft in the center.
