Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups AP flour

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a sheet pan with parchment or use a silicone baking mat.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a hand mixer, beat the butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and red food color together until creamy and fully combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time.
- Gradually add the flour mixture, the dough should be pretty stiff.
