Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mix to the wet, stirring until just combined.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and soft in the center.
