Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 1 Tablespoon whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon red gel food coloring
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the melted butter with sugars until blended. Add in egg, egg white, milk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth, then add red food coloring. (Use more or less to achieve desired color, just note the color fades as it bakes)
- To the mixing bowl, add in flour mixture, just until combined. Do not over mix.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill cookie dough for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add powdered sugar to a shallow bowl. Set aside.
- Roll 1 -2 Tablespoons chilled cookie dough into the powdered sugar, generously coating the cookie dough. Place on baking sheet about 2-inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until tops are crinkled. Remove and cool on pan for 5 minutes, then cool on wire rack completely.
Notes
- Gel food coloring achieves a more vibrant color than regular liquid food coloring.
- Store cookies in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze cookies in airtight container (or ziploc freezer bags) for up to 3 months. You can also freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months, before rolling in powdered sugar. After thawing dough, roll in powdered sugar and bake.
