1️⃣ In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. 🍚

2️⃣ In the bowl of a standing mixer (or use a hand mixer), whip the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. 🍰

3️⃣ Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is combined before adding the next. Then, mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. 🥚🌈

4️⃣ Slowly add the dry ingredients on low speed, mixing just until combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for 1 1/2 hours or until firm enough to shape into balls. ❄️

5️⃣ Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the powdered sugar into a small bowl. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, scoop it out, and with buttered hands, shape it into balls (about 2 Tbsp each). 🍪

6️⃣ Roll the balls in the powdered sugar to coat them evenly. Place the coated balls on a Silpat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet and flatten them slightly. Then, bake in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes. ⏲️

7️⃣ Once baked, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. 🍂
