How to Make Christmas Pink Velvet Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder in a medium mixing bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Add the large eggs, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, ensuring the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
  6. Scoop dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until cookies are set but still soft in the center.
  8. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
