Ingredients
Scale

- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla, whisking until smooth. Stir in the red food coloring until the mixture is bright red.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Notes
Chill the dough to prevent flat cookies and keep an eye on baking time, as they can easily overbake.
