Equipment

  • Digital kitchen scale
  • 2 Mixing bowl
  • Stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer
  • Parchment paper
  • Plastic wrap

Ingredients

  • 140 g all-purpose flour
  • 10 g Dutch-processed cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 85 g granulated sugar
  • 60 g unsalted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon red food coloring water-soluble coloring in gel form, or liquid
  • 30 ml whole milk
  • Powdered sugar for coating sifted

Instructions

  • Into a bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, add sugar, butter and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer for 1-2 minutes or until fluffy. Then, add the egg and food coloring and beat until well incorporated.
  • Add the milk and beat to incorporate.
  • Add the dry mixture and mix on low just until no dry ingredients are left.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and freeze for 20-30 minutes or until solid enough to form dough balls. You can also refrigerate the dough overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C (355F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Form 13 cookie dough balls and roll them in a thick layer of powdered sugar.
  • Place the cookie balls on the baking sheet so they have at least 2” (4cm) space in between. Bake for 13- 15 minutes or until they have spread and are crinkly.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
