In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition, and then stir in vanilla extract and red food coloring.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until incorporated.

Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop chilled dough into balls and roll in powdered sugar.

Place the coated dough balls on a lined baking sheet, spaced apart, and bake for about 12 minutes.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
