Description
Delicious red velvet cookies coated in powdered sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp red food coloring
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and red food coloring.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Chill the dough for at least one hour in the refrigerator.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and coat with powdered sugar before placing on prepared baking sheets.

Notes
- For a softer cookie, do not overbake.
- Chilling the dough helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
