Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add egg yolk, vanilla, and red food coloring, mixing until well combined.
Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; fold into wet ingredients.
Form dough balls and roll in red sanding sugar.

Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels sticky before rolling into balls.
Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
