Preparation

  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the sugar mixture, beating until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Scoop out tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls.
  7. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until well coated and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until the cookies are set and crinkled.
  2. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
