Ingredients
Scale
¾ cup Butter Unsalted, Room temperature
1⅓ cups Granulated sugar
3 Eggs Large
1 tablespoon Whole milk
2 teaspoon Lemon juice Or vinegar
2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Red gel coloring
3 cups All-purpose flour
¼ cup Cocoa powder
2 teaspoon Baking powder
¼ teaspoon Baking soda
1 cup Granulated sugar For rolling cookie dough balls
1 cup Powdered sugar For rolling cookie dough balls
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until mixture is light and fluffy.
Add eggs, milk, lemon juice or vinegar, and red gel coloring and mix until smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda.
Dump the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix!
Chill the dough for 2 hours or overnight.
Scoop out small portions of the dough and make small balls. Roll them in granulated sugar first and then, roll in powdered sugar. Place them on a baking tray, lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are firm around the edges. Enjoy!
Notes
Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
For best results, use gel food coloring for vibrant color.
