In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, or use a stand mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is a crumbly looking mixture.

Add the eggs and beat until combined.

Add the vanilla, red food coloring, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Beat on low speed just until combined.

Place the powdered sugar (for the topping) in a small bowl, and the granulated sugar in a separate small bowl.

Roll the ball completely in the granulated sugar. Roll it again in the powdered sugar. Put 12 cookies per cookie sheet.Roll 2 tablespoons of cookie dough into a ball.

Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cookies will look puffy and the tops will be slightly cracked. Let cool completely.
