1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp red gel food coloring
Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

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.
In another bowl, mix granulated sugar and vegetable oil until blended. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract and red food coloring until smooth.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Chill the dough for about 30 minutes.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them in powdered sugar before placing them on the baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Let cool on wire racks.
