Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until thoroughly mixed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined. The dough will be thick and velvety.
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Baking
  1. Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until well-coated.
  2. Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for about 12-15 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For long-term storage, consider freezing them.
