  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring

  8. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  9. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set.
  11. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, you can increase the cocoa powder to 2 tablespoons.
  • Make sure to use gel food coloring for a more vibrant red color.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
