Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 tsp red food coloring
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dry Mix: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of a standing mixer (or using a hand mixer), whip the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and light in color.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Follow with the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, mixing until everything is well combined.
- Combine with Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mix on low speed, stirring just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 1 1/2 hours, or until it is firm enough to handle.
- Preheat and Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the powdered sugar into a small bowl. With buttered hands, shape the chilled dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons each.
- Coat in Sugar: Roll the dough balls in powdered sugar, ensuring they are completely coated. Place them on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper and slightly flatten them.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 13-14 minutes. The cookies should be beautifully crinkled and set but still soft in the center.
- Cool and Store: Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
