- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Gather all ingredients and measure them accurately. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the egg, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until well combined.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, covered with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel.
