Scale
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon red food coloring
1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the powdered sugar to coat.
Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
