How to Make Festive Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, blend the granulated sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, mixing until combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until just mixed to avoid overmixing.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
• Scoop tablespoons of the dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar.
• Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 12-14 minutes until crinkled.
• Let the cookies cool on the sheets before transferring them to wire racks.
