Preheat your 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 a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract.

Mix in the red food coloring until fully incorporated.

Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them in powdered sugar before placing them on the prepared baking sheets about two inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until set but soft in the center. Allow cooling before serving.
