- 4.93 ml baking powder
- 2.46 ml kosher salt
- 2.46 ml cinnamon

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a medium bowl, sift together 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1¼ cups granulated sugar, 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, ½ teaspoon red gel food coloring, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs until smooth.
-
Step 3.
Fold the flour mixture into the sugar mixture until just combined and smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the dough is chilled but still soft, about 30 minutes.
-
Step 4.
While the dough chills, heat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place some additional unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow bowl.
-
Step 5.
Roll tablespoonfuls of the chilled dough into balls. Roll each ball in the cocoa powder to coat completely, then place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
-
Step 6.
Bake the cookies until they are slightly firm to the touch, 12 to 14 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough, using cooled baking sheets if needed.
