Method
Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar and vegetable oil until well combined.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the sugar mixture, and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
Shape and Bake
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into balls.
- Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
For best results, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help maintain the cookie shape. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
