Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder optional
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 5-6 drops red gel food coloring
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar for coating
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, coffee powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In another bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 3-5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating for about 3 minutes after each addition until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. Then, mix in the vanilla extract and red food coloring.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until everything is well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Using a tablespoon-sized ice cream scoop, portion the cookie dough and roll into smooth balls.
- Roll the dough balls in confectioners' sugar, coating them well.
- Place the sugar-coated dough balls on a prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes. Once baked, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
